No more Comic Heroes

[Keef Monkey]

Haven't picked up the relaunched issue yet, but isn't our own Crazyfoxmachine in there?

[Daveycandlish]

It's a good solid read and worth picking up.

[Neo Yahtzee]

Yeah took the plunge and bought it - really enjoyed it. Great read. Missed the posters that came free with the old ones though!

[COMMANDO FORCES]

I just had an email from the company saying that my issue is on its way

[COMMANDO FORCES]

It has arrived and there's a few bits that caught my eye on first glance.

Rob Williams has an interview inside.
David Baillie gets a 'My Life in Comics' page
Two 2000 AD characters get a mention in the Top 25 Coolest Characters list.

In the reviews section 2000 AD is in there, alongside two of Rob Williams' currents comics.

And it's gone again!
According to Lew Stringer's Blog the current issue is the last (again).

[Bad City Blue]

Oh.

The price drop was welcome and the last issue was a good one.

Since this magazine was aimed at the Comic book buyer audience, you can only interpret its fall as bad news.

Only in the sense niche/media/tech magazines are these days on a hiding to nothing, because people assume they can get everything online for free. I don't think it really says anything about comics. (I do wonder at which point people will suddenly realise most online 'magazines' are shit, though, due to no-one wanting to pay for anything, and the bottom falling out of advertising.)

Why are online magazines 'shit'?
I nearly subscribed to a couple yesterday. Mags I would occasionally buy in WH Smiths but thought - after checking - that they look nice on the iPad and it's all very convenient.

Those aren't online magazines, then, just online versions of existing magazines.

[IndigoPrime]

Fungus: Note the scare quotes. I'm referring to websites masquerading as magazines, but that are really glorified blogs. There are exceptions. Some sites are actually pretty good reads, but almost the entire industry is trending towards a distinct lack of money, which doesn't bode well for decent content.

And, yeah, I'm not talking about digital versions of existing print mags, both of which are on borrowed time in many areas.

[Fungus]

Got it. Took the quotes as a quality judgement
