FOC
For those who aren’t familiar, FOC, or Final Order Cut Off, is when publishers and distributors require retailers to get their orders in. Printers then print according to that number (sometimes with overages). So, if you want to absolutely guarantee you get a book, best bet is to order it before FOC. Final Order Cut Off is Monday 2/28/22 this week.
We’ve got a small final order cut off this week. Just Star Wars #22 on it! This makes sense with IDW bowing out of Star Wars comics for now and Dark Horse not quite revving up yet in their comic production. That’s probably exaggerated by the fact that High Republic Phase 2 doesn’t start until October-ish.
Star Wars #22
THE DAWN ALLIANCE – PART 1 OF 3 “The Last Division” The time has come for THE REBEL ALLIANCE fleet to bring its final lost division home… …but to do it, LEIA ORGANA, MON MOTHMA and the other Alliance leaders will need to rely on intelligence provided by the notoriously untrustworthy criminal organization CRIMSON DAWN.
