Thank FOC It's Friday, 30th August 2019 – From Plot to Bloodshot

Published Fri, 30 Aug 2019 10:30:46 -0500

Welcome to Thank FOC It's Friday, a semi-weekly mailing list, similar to The Daily LITG, but (mostly) every Friday and planned to coincide and cover the demands of Final Order Cut Off. The date when retailers have a last chance to amend their advance orders for comic books without penalty. A final chance for publishers to promote books while orders can still be added. And a time for credits to be amends, new covers to be revealed and a final push given. This is an attempt to sift through them all and find the most relevant items.

You can sign up here or with the form at the bottom.

So what's FOC'ing today?

Matt Kindt and David Rubin launch a new Ether series, The Disappearance Of Violet Bell.
