FOC is the last chance to put in your orders with your comic shops and likely get at a discount for pre-ordering.
Children of Atom #1 (2nd Ptg) gets a new cover for it’s second print and is on FOC this Monday the 22nd. The first printing is still easily found at most retailers, TFAW has a bunch still available.
Some are welcoming this new series while others seem to be trashing it. Might just be a book to watch though and see how it develops over the coming issues. I have yet to read myself so I remain neutral for now.
The cover hasn’t been released (at least at time of writing) but a few shops have released this as the possible cover art.
Nottingham #1 (of 5) (2nd Ptg) gets a very cool second printing cover. The first printing saw and is seeing some love on the secondary market. It’s a must pickup for me, despite still awaiting my first print pre-order to arrive so I can read it.
Canto from IDW saw a huge increase in demand after news broke it got picked up by Westwood Studios to become an animated film. It’s a great book, story and art. It’s a no brainer and would make a great show and movie (I want the video game myself).
The next volume is now on FOC. Canto & City of Giants #1 (of 3) is a must.
Spider-Man Spiders Shadow #1 (of 4) is a book I’m looking forward to, as I have not been keeping up with Amazing Spider-Man title. Hoping for a great read. The Spider-Man Spiders Shadow #1 (of 4) (Ferry Variant) is a pretty cool variant and my likely pickup.
This next one is on my list only because I’m a huge Uma Thurman fan along with being a Pulp Fiction fan.
Maria Llovets Eros Psyche #2 (Cover D – Sabine Rich)
What I think will end up being a ghost at most shops is Serial #2 2nd printing. Will it heat up? Maybe.. maybe not. Could be one of those long term gambles if you are onboard with this series. Terry Moore does have a nice following of his Abstract Studios titles.
I don’t ever have the Terry Moore/Abstract stuff on my FOC list.
I don’t follow my own advice either.. as I always forget to order his stuff cause when I do read it, I thoroughly enjoy them. He really puts thought into his stories, from beginning to end and seems to focus on one at a time. I think some writers who have 15 billion titles going on at once lose focus and it takes away from the overall writing at times.
What is so special about Nottingham #1 that it’s going bonkers on the secondary market?
Slow week is my guess? People liking the story + low orders (overlooked by retailers) + demand = Secondary market love..
