FINAL ORDER CUT-OFF for 9/21/25

Another week, another FOC. Kind of a weird week. Nothing all that exciting. But maybe we’ll be pleasantly surprised when a few of these come out.

COVERS

 

Sort of an Homage to the Alex Ross Classic, Superman 680. Cover of the week.

 

 

Dan Mora is hit or miss. But people seem to be liking this cover.

 

REPRINTS

 

First Impossible Man.

 

NUMBER ONES

 

Calamity strikes when a mysterious force dares to tamper with the sacred threads of history. CAPTAIN AMERICA and his formidable squad of Marvel heroes leap into action! Their mission? To safeguard the founding of the United States of America! The fate of the nation hangs in the balance at the dawn of the Revolution, as these valiant heroes must navigate the treacherous waters of the past to ensure a future that remains untarnished.

So, like 1602…but 174 years later…

 

 

 

 

SAKAAR, PARTY OF ONE! SHE-HULK is back, and she’s… stuck on Sakaar?? Spinning out of Jonathan Hickman’s hit cosmic epic, IMPERIAL, Jennifer Walters made a promise to her cousin, HULK, to watch over the planet Sakaar and its people for a few days. But it’s been longer than a few days, and now She-Hulk is in charge of keeping the peace on a planet at war! But Jennifer is a VERY different Hulk than the one that once smashed Sakaar into submission… is she up for the task?

 

 

X YEARS LATER, the X-Virus decimated New York – but Spider-Man won’t stop fighting. In a desperate gamble, Peter Parker doses himself with lethal radiation to hold the infection at bay. Survival comes at a cost. While this may not kill Peter Parker, it sure messes him up. This is the most dangerous, mutated Spider-Man ever – and he’s not alone.

 

POTENTIAL FIRST APPEARANCES

 

Alicia has returned from a sculpture convention to discover the Fantastic Four have a new pet – an adorable new dog that everyone tells her she’ll love. But when she first touches the creature, it’s cold, it’s wet, it’s slimy and it’s wrong – at least until a moment later, when suddenly, she feels the warm and soft fur she’s expecting. Alicia is the only one who can see the truth: This is not a dog. This is something very wrong that has insinuated itself inside the Fantastic Four and which is making everyone think it’s a dog. And this creature has designs of its own for both Alicia – and the entire planet Earth!

Pet Spec! Or maybe not.

 

 

X YEARS LATER, the people of Vancouver cheer a new hero: the WONDERFUL WOLVERINE, A.K.A. the WENDIGO, Logan’s last student. But what happened to LOGAN? A secret from Wolverine’s past will set the Last Wolverine on a mission to uphold his mentor’s legacy unless a dire threat burns it all down first!

Not necessarily “new”…but a new role for Wendigo.

 

 

Now that the Ultimates are using the Immortus Engine to its full capacity, Doom’s dream of the Ultimate Fantastic Four may finally be realized.

 

 

A STANDALONE NIGHT FORCE COVERT OP! The FIRST APPEARANCE of fan-favorite SHOOTER! How can she join Night Force when she’s imprisoned in Darklonia? Lady Jaye has a plan…

Joe Pedia says she appeared first in Declassified #1, so just a first in the Energon-Verse, I suppose. Cool cover appearance, though. Maybe that’s a first?

 

SPOILER ALERT

 

THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF [REDACTED]!

 

GIMMICK OF THE WEEK

DIE!NAMITE: Blood Red (Blind Bag Variant)

The ravening undead return to resume their feasting upon the living in the newest bloodcurdling chapter of Dynamite’s all-star supergroup adventures in the dystopic future! Featuring skull-cracking covers from EJ SU, GODTAIL, DAVID COUSENS, and WILL ROBSON!

$10 for a chance to get a random Dynamite comic. It’s like they just took the 1000 variant covers they normally put out for a comic but put a bag around it.

 

Parting Thoughts

Yeah, no pick of the week. Nothing really stands out. So, another one of those FOCs. Have a great week!
