FOC
Marvel have recently moved their final order cut off dates back to Sunday from Monday. This week’s is 10/3/2021. Seeing as many local comic shops and even some of the larger retailers very well might finalize orders on the Friday before rather than do it over the weekend, this functionally makes Marvel’s new FOC Friday 10/4/2021. IDW’s remains Monday 9/20/2021. Things just got more complicated for those keeping track of these things. Hooray!
