Star Wars Comic Book FOC Deadlines
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 7/11/22 this week.
Here are a few highlights
- The Mandalorian #2 will be considered Grogu’s first full appearance by many collectors
- The Sprouse cover for Bounty Hunters 26 has Reva (the 3rd Sister) on the cover. This is her first cover appearance.
- The Lopez 1:25 variant for Han Solo and Chewbacca’s is Buck Vancto’s first cover appearance.
- And the new Star Wars Legends Epic Collection The New Republic Volume 6 collects all of the Crimson Empire comics. This is a popular comic series and I anticipate this book getting some heat once stores run out.
