They all seem equally annoying as each other.
Surely our love of science fiction and fantasy in all of it's various mediums can be better served than by these magazines?
Discuss.
Surely the internet makes magazines irrelevant? The "news" is at least 4 weeks old, the interviews little more than faintly rewritten Press Releases and the reviews no better than you get online. I gave up on SFX years ago.
My main problem with sci-fi mags is the spoilertastic content. It's mostly made up of "secrets of next season!!!" style features which makes me wonder if sci-fi fans are pretty happy to pay to have things ruined for them. It's like when your mum buys Women's Own to find out everything that's going to happen in Eastenders 3 months ahead of schedule. Or when someone tells you they simply must watch Corrie that night because it's the one where so and so dies. Pointless.
I used to enjoy DreamWatch.
Does anyone know what happened to it?
Please don't say it morphed into any of the tosh mentioned above.
when I'm really desperate and cant find any decent comics to get I grab the odd SFX, its OK but really does bleet on about 1 or 2 things(stargate used to be the thing and now it seems Hero's is) at the cost of every thing else.

SFX hated Stargate up to the point Buffy finished. Suddenly Stargate became "good". I'm sure this had nothing to do with the fact it was pretty much the only first run SF programme on TV at the time.
Dreamwatch died a little while ago. Reincarnated as Total Sci-Fi on the web.
