FINAL ORDER CUTOFF AND PRE-ORDERING COMICS AT THE ESCAPIST
The Final Order Cutoff (AKA the FOC) is the deadline that we and other stores finalize our orders for how many comics we want per issue, from major and some not so major publishers, offered by various distributors.
The FOC is a deadline for ordering comics that arrive in about 3 weeks from these publishers. It may be that you want a certain comic or cover but (if we don't know that you want it) we may not order enough to have one for you. If there aren't enough copies of a comic or cover then subscribers have priority and the rest are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If there is a comic or cover you must have please let us know by date on the list. Some covers may be incentive covers that require us to order more than we need. We will let you know if we will be unable to order it for you. If you are a subscriber and you have already told us about the issue or cover, you will be taken care of. But if you need a certain cover that is different from your standing order please tell us. Note: This list does not include comics from publishers who do not participate in the FOC programs. They need to be ordered the month that they are announced.
The list should be posted on Friday nights but no later that Saturday morning. Requests must be made by midnight on Sunday of the weekend that the list is posted.
