Does anyone remember when 'WIZARD' was actually a good comic book magazine. It was over 100 pages of articles and art that I actually looked forward to once a month. However, in the past year it is barely fifty pages and fifty crappy pages at that. All filler and no meat. So today I cancelled my substription rather than be let down every month. When I can consume a magazine is less than a half hour, it's time to let that magazine go.

do you think it is the industry? i have gone to several wizard cons and over the years they have shrunk. more big little name celebrities and crunched in walls...
maybe the walls come crashing down... it is a great resource...
I cancelled my subscription a few years ago. Too much $$$ for not enough reward. No loss.
I have just watched the size and quality of the magazine dive in the past year. There are so many online sources that do what they used to do better. It's like the love has gone out of the publication for the subject matter. I am sure it has alot to do with the recession which is too bad because the comic industry needs a magazine like that. It's a specific art niche that doesn't get represented as it should.
I came to the same conclusion about Wizard ... 10 years ago.
Yup. I used to subscribe back in the day. I almost re-subscribed, but then read about all the lay-offs and saw how bad Wizard had fallen. Sad.
I haven't read one in years. The quality has gone that far downhill huh? sad.
I, too, despair of the content of Wizard. It used to have articles that were more than just the next big thing hypes.
Ah, well.

I haven't picked it up in years. I think when they went to staple binding and the larger normal magazine format, it went down hill.
