BlackBox joins Diamond’s FOC Program

Diamond Comic Distributors has announced that it has added BlackBox Comics to its Final Order Cutoff (FOC) Program beginning in March. The first title from BlackBox Comics to appear in the FOC Program will be Bio Mechs.

Written by Jay Sandlin and based on a story created by Sandlin and BlackBox publisher, Dimitrios Zaharakis, Bio Mechs features gorgeous art by Cleber Souza Lima and Fabio Da Silva Bandres with letters by Cynna Ael. After surviving for eons hidden away from the outside world, the peace on Mechis is shattered by the arrival of the insectoid Hive, who seek to enslave the Bio Mech inhabitants and conquer the planet. Described as Transformers meets Ultraman with a dash of Starship Troopers for good measure, this new series is well-timed to complement the current resurgence of Transformers and the growing appetite for a more traditional mech series. Issue 1 arrives in stores on April 24 with four exciting covers from some of Transformers’ finest.

FOC is an ordering program that provides retailer with extra time to adjust and finalize their product orders.
