ABOUT THIS EPISODE
FOC Here: www.multiverse.shop
Jason, Stephen and Scott explain Final Order Cutoff (FOC) as the deadline comic shops use to place final orders and emphasize that customers should use FOC to guarantee getting the books and specific covers they want. They describe two ordering options on multiverse.shop: subscribing (best for always getting the standard A cover) or pre-ordering individual issues to choose particular variant covers, noting policy changes around subscribing to non-A covers. Using Marvel Midnight as an example, they outline multiple cover versions—regular A, Midnight Bloodbath, Midnight Special guest-artist variants, a horror movie poster homage theme spanning three issues/titles, and ratio incentives (1:25, 1:50) that require major purchasing commitments. They ask viewers to submit pull list choices quickly to help the shop order the right cover mix, and note pre-pay pre-orders, easy account tools, cancel-anytime subscriptions, weekly FOC emails, and possible first-time purchase discounts.
