FOC Highlights!

I wanted to point out issues which have a final order cut off on Monday 5/24/2021. A sneaky second print of War of the Bounty Hunters Alpha made it onto FOC this week. The background is cast in a carbonite gray hue! If you’re not familiar, final order cutoff is when the distributor locks orders and the publishers then print accordingly. So, if you want to absolutely guarantee you get a book, get your order in before then.

Titan sometimes offers variant covers of Star Wars Insider that they reveal just before final order cut off to drum up orders. Issue 203 is a trading card treatment of Ahsoka in the Rosario Dawson style from The Mandalorian Season 2. These sometimes heat up on the secondary market and now that fiction is back in Star Wars Insider, there are always little canon tidbits to consume!
