FOC Highlight Books for Last Call March 12th/13th, 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…

Hallows Eve #1 gets the second print treatment with Hallows Eve #1 (2nd Ptg). There’s also a ratio available: Hallows Eve #1 (2nd Ptg Stephanie Hans 25 Copy Variant).

Hallows Eve first appearance was in Amazing Spider-Man #14 which is still pretty affordable. I think it’s a buy and hold for the potential long term gamble.

You can still find the first prints available at TFAW:

Hallows Eve #1
Hallows Eve #1 (Allen Stormbreaker Variant)
Hallows Eve #1 (Artgerm Variant)
Hallows Eve #1 (Besch Variant)
Hallows Eve #1 (Stephanie Hans 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)

Along with the second print #1, Hallows Eve #2 is also on FOC this week.

Guardians of the Galaxy #1 gets a reboot. Hopefully they get some creative writing cause for me, the last few volumes have been blah for the most part.

Guardians of the Galaxy #1 (Kuder Infinity Saga Phase 3 Variant)
Guardians of the Galaxy #1 (Chew Variant)
Guardians of the Galaxy #1 (Young Variant)
Guardians of the Galaxy #1 (Ross Timeless Dr Doom Virgin Variant)
Guardians of the Galaxy #1 (25 Copy Ngu Variant)
Guardians of the Galaxy #1 (50 Copy Chew Virgin Variant)
Guardians of the Galaxy #1 (100 Copy Timeless Dr Doom Variant)

Star Wars Bounty Hunters #33 continues with the Inferno Squad. Love this cover, brings back some nostalgia with all the mugshots on the cover off to the side like the good ‘ol days.

Bounty Hunters #32 Inferno Squad Variant Cover is seeing sales around the $10 range on a good day for those with copies and those perhaps still seeking copies to nab them for cheaper in case they appreciate in value over time when supplies start to run dry.

The Ewoks are back with their own title, Star Wars Return of the Jedi Ewoks #1. Could hold some surprises.

Star Wars Return of the Jedi Ewoks #1 (Momoko Variant)
Star Wars Return of the Jedi Ewoks #1 (Zullo Variant)
Star Wars Return of the Jedi Ewoks #1 (Garbett Connecting Variant)
Star Wars Return of the Jedi Ewoks #1 (100 Copy Brown Virgin Variant)

I absolutely love the Hotz 1:25 variant: Star Wars Return of the Jedi Ewoks #1 (25 Copy Hotz Variant) . Sold out at TFAW but could pop back up if someone releases and or they order enough more to qualify for more copies. Hovering around the $40 mark on eBay pre-sales.

I normally wouldn’t care about this next pick but I like the idea of Disney Villains Scar #1 (Cover A – Lindsay). If the writing is good, could be an entertaining read. I’m not counting on any heat though.

Like most Dynamite books, tons of variants (buy the covers you like and leave it at that):

I like the team behind Hairball #1 but I am not liking the cover price. $5.99? Geez Dark Horse, going the way of DC Comics..

Hairball #1 (Martin Simmonds Variant Cover)

Junk Rabbit #1 (Cover A – Robinson) looks like it could be fun. Jimmy Robinson will have to bring his A Game to this though.. being both writer and artist. This would be more appealing if it just had a single cover though.

Junk Rabbit #1 (Cover B – Robinson)
Junk Rabbit #1 (Cover C – Robinson)
Junk Rabbit #1 (Cover D – Robinson)
Junk Rabbit #1 (Cover E – Blank Sketch Cover)

Soko #1 (of 4) (Cover A – Tomaselli) sounds interesting. Could be a refreshing read for entertainment. The plot is nothing ground breaking but not done as much for comics, seems more like a movie or show type of plot.

Soko #1 (of 4) (Cover B – Shadowcat)
Soko #1 (of 4) (Cover C – Scalped Homage Variant)
Soko #1 (of 4) (Cover G – Fuso Connecting Ltd Variant)
Soko #1 (of 4) (Cover D – 10 Copy Guera Variant)
