DIRTY D’s F.O.C. PICKS – 12/7/25

Hey CHU. It’s that time of year where FOC lists get shorter as publishers hit that slow down going into the holiday season. So not much to really get excited about. But here are a few books I think are worth a look.

 

COVERS

 

There really isn’t any shortage of solid Dell’Otto covers. This one isn’t his best, but still cool. Looks like the webbing is going in one Spider-ear and out the other, though…

 

 

Likely not a spec book (especially since there’s a 1:25 incentive), but a cool cover if you’re into the Infernal Hulk.

 

NEW ONES

 

CABLE returns from the future with a handful of clues and gaping holes in his memory. An assassination is at hand, and it’s up to HELLVERINE, ARCHANGEL and his former teammate BOOM-BOOM to follow Cable’s lead into the fire. But who are they after, and what secret does Cable’s faulty memory hide? Be here for the ground floor of the mystery and strap in for the most extreme thrill ride in X-dom, as an all-new X-FORCE blazes into battle!

 

 

Rogue has an idyllic life with her sweet Remy LeBeau, but there are still skeletons in her closet…ones that come out when she least expects it. Rogue has worked so hard to leave her villainous past behind. Unfortunately, the past doesn’t stay in the past. What happens when it slams you right in the face? What past sin would make Rogue leave Haven House? Do Mystique and Destiny hold the answer?

The Skottie Young variant is cute.

 

ONE AND DONE

 

In a crumbling city where blood runs cheaper than gas, a brooding cabbie with a taxi death machine cruises the streets, deploying his own brand of justice and leaving carnage in his wake. Equal parts grindhouse horror and surrealist noir, AxiCab launches readers into a nightmarish urban sprawl where every ride might be your last. Created by television producer Philip Nelson, AxiCab is a bold, bloody debut that dares to go off-meter.

And that’s it! Short and sweet. Have a great week!
