Poyo’s FOC Highlight Books for Last Call 09/27/2021 ?

FOC is the last chance to put in your orders with your comic shops and likely get at a discount for pre-ordering.

Kicking off this weeks FOC list with the Marvel picks again….  because they normally have the most titles hitting shelves..

Death of Doctor Strange #2 (of 5) (Silva Stormbreakers Variant) is probably my favorite cover for the second issue of this new mini-series.

Moon Knight #4 is a must pickup while McNiven has been knocking these out of the park.

The Moon Knight #4 (Cassara Stormbreakers Variant) is also pretty cool as well.

Coming out of Avengers is the new Phoenix Song Echo #1 (of 5) mini-series. Could be a good pickup with potential and hopefully at minimum a decent read.

Phoenix Song Echo #1 (of 5) (Yu Variant)
Phoenix Song Echo #1 (of 5) (Nauck Headshot Variant)
Phoenix Song Echo #1 (of 5) (Carnero Stormbreakers Variant)

Shang-Chi gets some additional printings with Shang-Chi #3 (2nd Ptg Yu Variant) and Shang-Chi #4 (2nd Ptg Yu Variant).

Star Wars Darth Vader #17 Wobh has a pretty awesome regular cover. The carbonite variant of the regular is pretty awesome as well.

Star Wars Darth Vader #17 (Kuder Carbonite Variant) Wobh
Star Wars Darth Vader #17 (Frenz Handbook Variant) Wobh
Star Wars Darth Vader #17 (Sprouse Lucasfilm 50th Variant) Wobh

Star Wars High Republic #10 is a must. Series just has so much potential in every issue.

The Star Wars High Republic #10 (Jeanty Variant) is pretty awesome as well.

I love this next bounty hunter. Another must to collect all the War of the Bounty Hunters titles and tie-ins.

Star Wars War Bounty Hunters Ig-88 #1
Star Wars War Bounty Hunters Ig-88 #1 (Wijngaard Variant)
Star Wars War Bounty Hunters Ig-88 #1 (Frenz Handbook Variant)
Star Wars War Bounty Hunters Ig-88 #1 (Asrar Carbonite Variant)

To celebrate Hispanic America Heritage Month, Marvels Voices Community #1 does just that. Should introduce a new character and it’ll be interesting to see how they play out. It’s got a hefty price tag so a lot of shops might not go heavy on this one.

Marvels Voices Community #1 (Manahini Variant)
Marvels Voices Community #1 (Wolf Variant)
Marvels Voices Community #1 (Zitro Variant)
Marvels Voices Community #1 (Ramos Variant)

If you’re a Moon Knight fan like myself, you might want to check out Moon Knight Omnibus HC Vol 02 Alex Ross Cover. Still one of the best ways to read those older back issues and stories without having to handle the floppies in the collection.

There’s also a variant for this: Moon Knight Omnibus HC Vol 02 Miller Dm Var

For you D&D fans comes Dungeons & Dragons Mindbreaker #1 (of 5) (Cover A – Max Dunbar).

Dungeons & Dragons Mindbreaker #1 (of 5) (Cover B – Max Davenport)

I’m really digging this Charm variant B for Star Wars Adv Ghost Vaders Castle #5 (of 5) (Cover B – Charm). Just an awesome Vader cover.

Critical Role: Tales of Exandria I #1 is on FOC this week and out from Dark Horse. TFAW also has the variant bundle available: Critical Role: Tales of Exandria I #1 – #4 (David Mack TFAW Exclusive Variant Bundle)

Me You Love in the Dark #1 (of 5) (3rd Ptg). Great new series from Skottie Young. Maybe we’ll see a 4th printing for this one as well?

If you like Killadelphia, you’ll probably like this new spinoff title Nita Hawes Nightmare Blog #1 (Cover A – Well-Bee). Could be worthy of a pick up.

Nita Hawes Nightmare Blog #1 (Cover B – Alexander)
Nita Hawes Nightmare Blog #1 (Cover C – Mattina)
Nita Hawes Nightmare Blog #1 (Cover D – Reynolds)
Nita Hawes Nightmare Blog #1 (Cover E – Blank Cover)

Primordial #1 (of 6) (2nd Ptg) gets a second printing. Looks like the second printing gets a red title from the first printing.

It’s finally on FOC. Something Is Killing Children Deluxe Ed HC Book 01 is the first HC Book with also a slipcase edition: Something Is Killing Children Deluxe Ed Slipcase HC Book 01 for only $20 more and claims it’s limited, so BOOM! will likely allocate these if that’s the case?

Now for some true indies and the really small publishers.

Deadbox #1 (2nd Ptg) gets a second printing. I totally forgot to pick up the first issue and pre-order, did anyone like this title? Worthy of a grab? I still pick it since we all know how 2nd printings with new art can play out if any type of demand is kicking.

Last Book Youll Ever Read #1 (3rd Ptg) gets a third print. The second print is still available as well.

Refrigerator Full of Heads #1 (of 6) (Cover A – Sam Wolfe Connelly) had me on the title alone.

Refrigerator Full of Heads #1 (of 6) (Cover B – Reiko Murakami Card Stock Variant)

Love this cover for Shazam #4 (of 4) (Cover B – Will Murai Card Stock Variant).

This Kyle Hotz Variant that’s a 1:50 for Task Force Z #1 is pretty awesome ratio I think.
