Since they keep pushing articles back and running out of room for letters, shorter was NOT the way to go.<br /><br />Back Issue I usually get because there's almost always at least 1 or 2 things I want to read, but they have been publishing too many articles that are merely a synopsis of comics stories with little insight or behind-the-scenes info. Example: the Long Halloween article. Learned nothing except that the article's author thinks it's really great. I skipped the Dark Horse licensed Star Wars issue because I could not care less about the subject.<br /><br />JKC I used to read but it felt like too much cheerleading for stuff that really wasn't that great, like Captain Glory...really? I enjoyed stuff from guys who worked with/for the King, but don't really care about people taking his unused concept art from the '80s and trying to pretend their new property is Kirby work. So I dropped it a few years back, have I missed much?Doc Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783244633195233970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-73879997727320163972013-05-17T01:55:11.919-04:002013-05-17T01:55:11.919-04:00You make a good point.

I get Alter Ego regularly, and I still get Jack Kirby Collector when it comes out, but there's no denying the great energy Twomorrows had when they started with magazines crammed with info has dwindled into magazines which often are prettier than they are enlightening. There is diminishing return on the magazines now sadly. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-73407558351439742292013-05-16T10:22:23.419-04:002013-05-16T10:22:23.419-04:00TwoMorrows has wasted a lot of the color promise. ...TwoMorrows has wasted a lot of the color promise. I remember when they started those 8-page centers in color and wasted the space on...TEXT! Meanwhile a few pages earlier or later in the issue they would have greyscale art! Egad! I'd rather have longer issues in B&W, but if they are going to charge extra so they can be full-color, I sure wish they would accentuate the art more.Doc Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783244633195233970noreply@blogger.com
