FOC Deadlines May 16, 2022
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 5/16/22 this week.
The one bit of news for this FOC is that we get our first “Choose Your Own Destiny” variant from Sprouse with General Grievous on the cover. Since the art was relatively late be sure to check with your shop to make sure they ordered some. Or pre-order on TFAW here. We also got a look at the Sprouse Variant for Darth Vader 24 earlier this week.
Star Wars Bounty Hunters #24
