This is the last call for titles featured here on our ✨official✨ FOC (Final Order Cutoff) post! We hope the details provided here help you decide which titles you’d like to preorder, but we’re always here if you have questions!

We’ve chosen 15 titles on FOC Monday, but there are many more wonderful comics & graphic novels on final order this week that you might enjoy, and you can find those linked in our bio or at the “Weekly FOC” page on our website!

As a reminder, comic shops submit orders for upcoming releases every week, usually for comic titles releasing in 3-4 weeks (and graphic novels sometimes a few months in advance). One of the best things you can do to support your local comic shop (including us!) is to pre-order titles you’re excited to read before their FOC date. This also makes sure your shop has a copy set aside just for you!

In this post we’ve rounded up 15 titles with Final Order Cutoffs of Monday at 8pm, listed below in alphabeticalish order:
1. Alien vs. X-Men 1 (of 4)
2. Badducks (manga)
3. Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary (manga)
4. Feeling Like an ADHD Alien (graphic novel)
5. Gachiakuta Manga Box Set
6. Hodo (graphic novel)
7. The Karman Blade 1 (of 4)
8. Living with My Old Cat (manga)
9. Monstera (novel)
10. The Mysteries of Twin Peaks (art book)
11. Phantom of the Opera (hardcover collection)
12. Rogue: Shadows of the Past (collected trade)
