My review: A really good start. Very Positive. Thank you for making something with just one cover. lol..
INSIDE: 35 pages of content not including the ads.
Inspired by Wizard magazine and others, it does a lot of what that did, including an Artists teaching section- limited price guide- of CGCbooks- sponsored by CGC- and a bunch of top 10 lists ...and a letters page thats an inside joke to start. I am sure real letters will be flooding in. All of this not a bad thing at all. Like it.
The articles were good, , liking the interviews with creatives- my only note is when interviewing creators- always include all their photos, including the interviewer- give is some faces please. This worked well on comics roundtable. Liked the call back to Rick Veitch and Swamp thing.
I like the short comic pages inside.
Good history of Fanzines...nice way to catch people up. Left out my own Creator Owned heroes series at image that did this - was bummed but over it.
Art School- excellent. Always a plus.
The Our Picks section- let us know who is picking these- Good picks.
MY NOTES: Unpopular opinion maybe, but charge a dollar more and add another 16 pages at least -of content. Yes, it is a good sign me asking for more.
Get some retailers a bit of space here to talk about store trends and again, more photos and maybe add a Convention report to round out the magazine.
If offering art lessons, please devote a page of where people can purchase the products and maybe get them to do some ads. Artists recommending supplies, and tools is another idea as well.
So yes, if you are a comic book fan, go get this asap please and support it.
