FOC stands for Final Order Cutoff—the last day comic book stores can tell publishers like DC Comics, "Hey! I want XYZ number of copies of DC Pride #1!" The accumulation of these orders helps us set our PRINT RUN aka how many copies we tell the printer to make.
When you put a preorder in with your local comic store ahead of FOC, that store can feel reasonably assured that they& #39;ve sold one unit of that comic. Comic stores operate on thin margins! So there& #39;s not a lot of room to order an abundance on the hope people...
...will show up to buy them. That& #39;s what makes the preorder SO incredibly crucial—it says out loud, "Hell YES, store, there& #39;s demand for this book (or this type of book)!" and, "Hell yes, publishers, please make MORE of this and we& #39;ll be there with bells on when you do!"
Also! This thread doesn& #39;t JUST apply to DC Pride #1 or Crush & Lobo #1. Excited about those GORGEOUS #DCPride variants for Batman, Harley Quinn, Wonder Girl, Nightwing, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Teen Titans Academy? You can preorder those too! Or ANY comic you& #39;re excited about!
If you& #39;re pumped for all the amazing #DCPride offerings we& #39;ve got coming in June, preordering is an easy way to make it clear that there& #39;s a market for them. And that& #39;s how publishers decide what to do NEXT. So please take a little extra time to preorder—it matters!
UPDATE: When I tried to just search DC PRIDE #1 on the Midtown Comics website I came up empty, but when I googled "dc pride midtown comics preorder" it came up!
