FOC Highlight Books for Last Call January 29/30th, 2023

FOC is the last chance to put in your orders with your comic shops and likely get at a discount for pre-ordering. Here’s a few of the highlights for this week…



It’s a smaller FOC week with mostly Marvel and a Dark Horse title that got my attention.

Everyone loves Cosmic Ghost Rider right? Hoping for an entirely new character but it just ends up being Frank Castle! Regardless, this character gets it’s own title now and many moons from now his first appearance (Thanos #13) will be sought after (again… ) as Cosmic Ghost Rider spinning out of Thanos series that was started by Jeff Lemire but ended with Donny Cates writing, which was a fun volume if you ask me.

Cosmic Ghost Rider #1 (Nauck Headshot Variant)
Cosmic Ghost Rider #1 (Smith Variant)

Cosmic Ghost Rider #1 (25 Copy Roche Variant)
Cosmic Ghost Rider #1 (100 Copy Stegman Virgin Variant)

Cosmic Ghost Rider #1

And while we’re talking about Ghost Riders, Ghost Rider #12 is on FOC and this has been a great volume so far for the character and awesome regular covers.

Ghost Rider #12 (Rapoza Variant)

It’s going to be heavily ordered but I still think it’s worthy of picking up a copy for Hallows Eve #1. Coming out of Amazing Spider-Man #14 which will be the one to own if this character sticks around and gains popularity (Marvel seems to be pushing her onto us with her own solo title so soon after first appearing).

The 2nd prints of Amazing Spider-Man #14 (2nd Ptg Dodson Variant) are still available. There’s also the Amazing Spider-Man #14 (25 Copy Maleev Variant) still available as well. The Amazing Spider-Man #14 (2nd Ptg 1:25 McGuinness Variant) – SOLD OUT but can still find on eBay was the one to nab for cheap though I think for you first appearance junkies out there.

Hallows Eve #1 (Allen Stormbreaker Variant)
Hallows Eve #1 (Artgerm Variant)
Hallows Eve #1 (Besch Variant)
Hallows Eve #1 (Hans Variant)
Hallows Eve #1 (100 Copy Ross Timeless Green Goblin Virgin Variant)
Hallows Eve #1 (Ross Timeless Green Goblin Virgin Sketch Variant)
Hallows Eve #1 (200 Copy Artgerm Virgin Variant)
Hallows Eve #1 (300 Copy Besch Virgin Variant)

Hallows Eve #1

It’s Spider-Gwen but it could have potential with firsts within that collectors will seek out now or later. So Spider-Gwen Shadow Clones #1 might be a decent pickup if there’s some surprises.

Spider-Gwen Shadow Clones #1 (Bengal Variant)
Spider-Gwen Shadow Clones #1 (Casagrande Women of Marvel Variant)
Spider-Gwen Shadow Clones #1 (Land Variant)
Spider-Gwen Shadow Clones #1 (Momoko Design Variant)The one to own I think, really dig Momoko’s take on a design variant!
Spider-Gwen Shadow Clones #1 (Pink Blank Variant)
Spider-Gwen Shadow Clones #1 (Villa Stormbreaker Variant)
Spider-Gwen Shadow Clones #1 (25 Copy Stelfreeze Variant)
Spider-Gwen Shadow Clones #1 (100 Copy Land Virgin Variant)

Spider-Gwen Shadow Clones #1

Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures–The Nameless Terror #1 is a new Star Wars title coming out of Dark Horse. A definite must for you fans out there.
