Two Order Windows Are Closing, and Devil’s Class #1 Shifts to 9/30
Two Invader books hit their order deadline in the next two weeks. Field Guide To Legendary Creatures Of The United States #1 cuts off Monday, September 28, and First Wave TP Vol 02 follows on October 5. If either is on your list, now is the time to tell your shop. Plus a quick release update below: Devil’s Class #1 has a new in-store date.
The Order WindowsTwo books, two deadlines
Field Guide To Legendary Creatures Of The United States #1 (of 4): The Northeast
Cryptids, coastal ghosts, and the deep-woods things that were here long before we were. A cross-country hunt through American folklore, one region at a time, and the guide opens where the oldest stories are thickest: the Northeast. A first issue, and a clean place to start.

First Wave TP Vol 02
The second collection of Invader’s black-and-white quarterly anthology: 100 pages of new short horror and sci-fi from across the line, gathered in one volume. A wide door into everything Invader is building.
SEE IT ON LUNAR ›Here’s the part that actually matters for getting a copy: comics are ordered before they’re printed. Final Order Cutoff, or FOC, is the last day your retailer can adjust what they’re bringing in. Order past it and you’re hoping an extra copy happens to be on the shelf. Order before it and the copy is yours.
That deadline matters most for a first issue like Field Guide #1, where there’s no back stock to fall back on, and for a collected volume like First Wave Vol 02, where print runs are set tight. Both reward ordering early.
The move is simple: walk in, call, or email your local shop and ask them to add these to your pull list. Give them the title and the Lunar code and they’ll do the rest. Field Guide #1 is code 0926MP0978, FOC Monday, September 28, in stores November 18. First Wave TP Vol 02 is code 0926MP0979, FOC October 5, in stores November 25.
Devil’s Class #1 now arrives September 30
Devil’s Class #1 (One Shot)
An honest heads-up, with our apologies: a delay at the printer pushed Devil’s Class #1 back one week. It now reaches shops on September 30, not September 23. Everything else is unchanged. Eli Powell’s 80-page horror one-shot carries all the savagery of Ravage and the chilling atmosphere of Still, and we think it’s worth the extra few days. Ask your shop to hold a copy for 9/30.
