FOC Intelligence Info

FOC Intelligence Report

Never miss a hot book again.

Know which comics are heating up -- before Final Order Cutoff closes every Monday.


What is FOC?

Every comic book has a Final Order Cutoff -- the last day retailers can adjust their orders before the book goes to print. FOC is always on Monday.

Once FOC closes, that's it. No more copies. If a book heats up after FOC, shops can't order more. That's how books become instant sellouts.

The collectors who know what's hot before FOC are the ones who get the books.


The Problem

You're Always One Step Behind

You're busy. You can't track every rumor, every social media post, every preview page. By the time you hear about a hot book, FOC already closed.

  • First appearances get announced mid-week
  • Movie casting news drops randomly
  • Variant covers get revealed on Instagram
  • Spec YouTube videos come out Saturday night

Meanwhile, FOC closes Monday morning.


The Solution

Every week, we compile the full FOC list, track rumors and news, and identify spec opportunities -- so you don't have to.

Our FOC Intelligence Report delivers:

  • 400+ titles searchable and filterable every week
  • First appearances and key issues flagged before they blow up
  • Buzz alerts on books getting attention
  • Priority ratings on spec picks
  • All delivered before FOC closes Monday

You get the intel. You make the call. You don't miss the book.
