FOC is the last chance to put in your orders with your comic shops and likely get at a discount for pre-ordering.
Itās a bigger FOC week, unlike last week. Some good potential I think for reading and specāing.
Phenom X #1 is a new Image book written by actor John Leguizamo, so Iām gonna check this one out as I like him as an actor.
Phenom X #1 (Cover B - McFarlane) - Could be a ākeyā cover issue one dayā¦ cause you know, McFarlane rarely lends a hand with variant covers for others. 
Righteous Thirst for Vengeance #1 (2nd Ptg) gets the second print treatment. I knew this one would. Itās a great read so far and Iām looking forward to the next issue Righteous Thirst for Vengeance #2 which is also on FOC this week.
Radiant Black #10 Blacklight Ed is tempting just to actually buy a black light and put it up on display in a dark area of my house. Who am I kidding, Iām gonna buy one anyways even if I donāt display it.
Echolands #2 (2nd Ptg Cover A - Wlliams III) gets a second printing. This is on my short pile of books to read as Iāve been trying to get to them as Iāve heard nothing but great things.
Iām a sucker for a good eye reflection cover and Star Wars High Republic Adv Monster Temple Peak #4 (of 4) goes out in style to end this mini-series I think cover wise.
House of Slaughter #1 gets some second printings along with a LCSD edition. You can still find the first prints just about everywhere so why this is getting a second printing? I donāt know, itās certainly a BOOM! tactic to make their books seem more in demand I think than they really are. Itās working too, all you chums will go out and buy the 2nd prints knowing they have a likely smaller print run and push those on the secondary market.
Iām weary on spin-off titles spun from the other successful titles. If thereās ever any heat, it always seems short lived. House of Slaughter saw a huge print run as retailers were chasing the incentives while also hoping a repeat of SIKTC.
Hereās the HoS on FOC thoughā¦
House of Slaughter #1 (2nd Ptg Cover A - Mercado)
House of Slaughter #1 (2nd Ptg Cover B - Mercado Foil)
LCSD House of Slaughter #1 (2nd Ptg Card Stock Variant)
Regarding Matter of Oswalds Body #1 (of 5) (Cover A - Luca) looks like a potential great I think. I love the JFK conspiracy stories and this one aligns well with me.
Regarding Matter of Oswalds Body #1 (of 5) (Cover C - FOC Reveal Variant)
LCSD 2021 Regarding Matter of Oswalds Body #1 (of 5) (Sook Card Stock Variant)
Chicken Devil #2 is on FOC this week. I havenāt read the first issue yet myself (itās on pre-order and I switched to monthly shipments instead of bi-weekly). But Iām hoping this turns out to be a great read as the premise for the plot is spot on.
Out #2 is another title Iām hoping ends up being a great read. Still waiting on my first copy to arrive but Williams rarely lets me down on story and being this is WWII related, I just have high hopes for the title.
I rarely ever find myself specāing or checking out Dynamite books but who doesnāt love a good TMNT homageā¦
Nyx #1 (Cover O - FOC Bonus TMNT Homage Haeser Variant)
Thereās also a pretty rad Besch variant for this one as well. I donāt normally buy ratio variants at premium prices but these are temptingā¦
Nyx #1 (Cover B - Besch)
Nyx #1 (Cover M - Besch Ltd Virgin)
Nyx #1 (Cover N - Besch Premium Metal)
Itās already made some popular media headlines but Superman Son of Kal-El #5 (Cover A - John Timms) is on FOC and expect a bigger print run to anticipate the non Wednesday Warrior crowds to seek these out after news hit of Superman being bisexual.
The real winner though is Superman Son of Kal-El #2 which has Jayās first appearance in it.
Superman Son of Kal-El #5 (Cover B - Inhyuk Lee Card Stock Variant)
Superman Son of Kal-El #5 (Cover C - Travis Moore Card Stock Variant)
Captain Marvel #34 is one to watch. The solicitation reads as it could hold a surprise. The teaser variant I think might be telling us a bit moreā¦ (Itās displayed on Previews but I wonāt post here for those who actually like surprises).
Captain Marvel #34 (Spoiler Teaser Variant)
Daredevil #36 also solicits some big happenings in itās final issue (I had no idea it was ending, I guess a reboot is upon us).
Daredevil #36 (Foreshadow Variant)
Daredevil #36 (Cabal Stormbreaker Variant)
Hawkeye Kate Bishop #1 (of 5). I like Kate Bishop as Hawkeye. I think they should drop the Kate Bishop from the title thoughā¦
Hawkeye Kate Bishop #1 (of 5) (Noto Variant)Hawkeye Kate Bishop #1 (of 5) (Nauck Headshot Variant)
Hawkeye Kate Bishop #1 (of 5) (Young Variant)
Star Wars Darth Vader #18 Wobh already had a cool cover and then they release the Star Wars Darth Vader #18 (Lashley Variant) Wobh which was equally as awesome. I was gonna buy both already before seeing them, itās Darth Vader. These Vader series keep pumping out a lot of firsts that go on to be winners on the secondary market. Itās a no brainer buy for me.
Star Wars Darth Vader #18 Wobh
Star Wars Darth Vader #18 (Lashley Variant) Wobh
Star Wars Darth Vader #18 (Sprouse Lucasfilm 50th Variant) Wobh
If you havenāt read it, you should and while most of the past issues are out of reach to buy and to read individually (you donāt want to handle them anyways unless you just donāt care about retaining their condition and value), the next best thing now is to just buy Thor by Jason Aaron Omnibus Hardcover Vol 01.
The first two arcs in this are one of the best Marvel reads this century if you ask me.
Thereās also the Thor by Jason Aaron Omnibus HC Vol 01 Quesada Dm Var variant cover. Iād stick with the Ribic myself (depicted below).
If you missed out on the floppy copies, Geiger TPB Vol 01 is on FOC and is the next best way to catch up on this series out of Image for pretty cheap, much cheaper than buying the individual copies to read.
