Poyo's FOC Highlight Books for Last Call 10/25/2021 📢

FOC is the last chance to put in your orders with your comic shops and likely get at a discount for pre-ordering.

Star Wars High Republic Adventures #10 has a great regular cover. Great series so far with a lot of spec potential as well.

Star Wars Adventures #12 (Cover A - Francavilla) has a great Francavilla cover in my opinion. I’m digging the Star Wars Adventures #12 (Cover B - Griffith) as well.

Death of Doctor Strange White Fox #1 is a book I’ll picking up. Why? So out of all the more well known characters in Marvel, why White Fox now, in the Death of Doctor Strange story line? I think Marvel has plans for this character and we’ll be seeing a whole lot more. First appearance in Contest Of Champions #1 (2015) is still relatively affordable if you ask me.

Death of Doctor Strange White Fox #1 (Inhyuk Lee Variant)

There’s some pretty cool covers for Inferno #3 but out them all, I’m liking the Inferno #3 (of 4) (Vega Variant) the most. Just a cool concept and different from your most standard covers.

The voices titles have held some goodies and surprises in the past. Great potential for new characters or bring the support type character further into the lime light. So Marvels Voices Heritage #1 is a title I’ll be checking out.

Now the musts for most, the Star Wars titles out from Marvel on FOC:

Star Wars #19 (War Bounty Hunters Tie-In):
Star Wars #19 (War of the Bounty Hunters)
Star Wars #19 (Christopher Action Figure Variant) Wobh
Star Wars #19 (Sprouse Lucasfilm 50th Variant) Wobh

Star Wars Bounty Hunters #18 (War Bounty Hunters Tie-In):
Star Wars Bounty Hunters #18 (War of the Bounty Hunters)
Star Wars Bounty Hunters #18 (Acuna Variant) Wobh
Star Wars Bounty Hunters #18 (Sprouse Lucasfilm 50th Variant War of the Bounty Hunters)
Star Wars #18 (Yu Variant War of the Bounty Hunters)

Radio Apocalypse #1 (Cover A - Rk) is a book I’ve been waiting on. It feels like years since I mentioned this one in my Indie Previews. Maybe finally we’ll see it make its way to our comic shop shelf. This is a new book by Ram V who also wrote Many Deaths of Laila Starr so I’m expecting nothing but good things out of this one.

Radio Apocalypse #1 (Cover B - Martin Simmonds)

Turkey Day is a book I’m buying just for the cover. But I love a good Thanksgiving story…

I read somewhere Bleeding Cool speculating IDW lost the Star Wars license. The new November catalogue has new IDW Star Wars into February 2022. So, looks like it’s still going strong!

They might of lost their license but I’d imagine there’s a deadline date and anything already in the works will be allowed. They should at least let them finish the stories they’ve started. SW High Republic Adv is my favorite High Republic book currently… Disney must not destroy a good thing…

True. Who knows when the expiration is. Unlikely it happens to land on the calendar end date.

Something is up with White Fox. I’d just be spec’ing on everyone in the New Agents of Atlas at this point.

The Rahzzah Crimson Reign cover is ridiculous.

Dauterman’s Avengers Forever #1 might be worth grabbing. No previews world image, but from Dauterman’s twitter:

Alana · October 25, 2021, 7:17pm

Cover A has Captain Britain Peggy Carter from What if? And a few other new characters like Jane Odin?

ecliptic · October 25, 2021, 7:20pm

Nice catch!

Jester00 · October 25, 2021, 7:36pm

Damn that Rahzzah cover is . Guess I’ll be getting those as well as the Crain covers

I hope I’m right and he’s doing a connecting variant with the other Knights who appear in Crimson Reign.
