Poyo’s FOC Highlight Books for Last Call August 29th, 2022 ?

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



I got an advance copy of Vanish #1. I went in with zero expectations and the first few pages I was pondering if it’s going to be good or not, but by the end I can honestly say I enjoyed it. It’s a fun read. If Cates can continue to deliver on the story, count me in.

Lots of variants and store variants for this one. So you know my golden rule, particularly when it comes to Image titles, always bet on Cover A if you can’t decide.

This one, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Saturday Morning Adventures #1, brings back memories. Who else here is old enough to say they were watching this every Saturday morning?

Predator #1 (2nd Ptg LaRocca Variant) gets the additional print treatment.

Star Wars #26 (2nd Ptg Gist Variant) has a lot of firsts so of course it gets a second printing. The first printing seems to have cooled off a bit from it’s initial hype but looks to still be selling well. If you see them out in the wild, not a bad pickup.

Star Wars Doctor Aphra #24 has a first cover appearance of a new character. So might not be a bad pickup for the just in case type of scenario.

Star Wars Doctor Aphra #24 (Sprouse Choose Your Destiny Variant) – Could be a long term winner as well.

Batman One Bad Day Riddler #1 gets a second printing. Great read, I highly recommend it you haven’t read it already.

There’s also a 1:25 variant for the second printing.

Batman the Audio Adventures #1 (of 7) (Cover A – Dave Johnson) I’m hoping is a fun read. Love this regular first cover.
