FOC is the last chance to put in your orders with your comic shops and likely get at a discount for pre-ordering.
If you frequent the forums, Anthony did a post about Non-Stop Spider-Man with some potential spec within of the new character, Spirit Spider (first actually appearing in Incredible Hulks Annual #1 from 2011 as Ghost Spider).
So finally after what I think is a year with delays, Non-Stop Spider-Man #1 is finally hitting store shelves the first week of March. It’s a book based on the PS Game. These stories have been much more entertaining than the current flagship title Amazing Spider-Man if you ask me. The only thing good that’s come out of the 50 something issues so far is the really cool Gleason Cover for ASM #55.
Might be a nice pickup if the character takes off. Lots of covers, so choose wisely…. and if you can’t choose wisely, Always Bet On Cover A!

For you America Chavez fans out there, her new 5 issue series kicks off soon and the first issue America Chavez Made in the USA #1 is on FOC this Monday. There’s a Hans variant but something doesn’t sit right with her face I think. I’d go with Cover A or the Yoon Variant.
America Chavez Made in Usa #1 (of 5) (Hans Variant)
America Chavez Made in Usa #1 (of 5) (Yoon Variant)
Some more Marvel mentions goes to Avengers #43 that could hold some surprises with it’s current Phoenix story arc.
Also Momoko’s debut in writing with Demon Days X-Men #1 is on FOC. She’s also doing the interior art as well.
All the Star Wars FOC books:
Star Wars High Republic #2 Variant (2nd Printing) should be on most Star Wars fans list. You can still find the first printing available so there’s good chance a lot of retailers won’t buy copies of the second printing if they haven’t moved all their shelf copies yet.
Star Wars High Republic #3 and Star Wars High Republic Adventures #2 is also on FOC this Monday the 8th.
Proctor Valley Road #1 is a new BOOM book that has some potential. Grant Morrison rarely disappoints.
Proctor Valley Road #1 (Cover B – Wildgoose)
Cult of Dracula #1 is a new Source Point Press book that I believe was already optioned. Lots of covers for this one, mainly store exclusives and such. Still might not be a bad pickup if it ever does become more than just a comic.
That’s it for my highlight FOC books this week. There’s a few more but then it just turns into too big of a list when I try to really narrow down the highlights.
Cult of Dracula #1 from Second Sight Publishing is actually the one to have if this book ever takes off.
Proctor Valley Road has a Giant Days/Lumberjanes feel to it.
And did everyone see BRZRKR has a print run of over 600,000. Save your money on that one unless you just want to read it.
600k? Yeah, 500k are gonna get returned.. for refund. 😉
BUT booms returns are based on the honor system
All I know is.. BOOM! won if they truly did sell 600k of these books to retailers with their 1:1000 signed exclusive..
Proctor Valley is on next week’s FOC. Didn’t see it when I did FOC this week, and TFAW says 02/15. Just FYI.
Hmmm.. Maybe they bumped it? I downloaded the FOC Previews from https://www.previewsworld.com/FinalOrdersDue when compiling my list..
