<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">...and it is a tie (well - not TIE Fighter ;-) </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year begins with a blast as not one, but two magazines start the collecting year of STAR WARS themed covers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One is from Germany and it is the No 1 2015 issue of <b>GEEK</b> magazine. I´m quite certain this will not be the last SW cover from GEEK this year (though the Vader picture is old and has nothing to do with Ep7)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Number two - and this is my favourite already - <b>FORTUNE</b> magazine featuring Bob Iger in front of the new Millennium Falcon! This is a really interesting read and great pictures! Thanks Bob for buying STAR WARS ;-) </span><br />

Funny though, when it comes to magazines I´m all ANALOG! I do get all my news via the web - who doesn´t - but when is comes to collecting magazines I´m ALL OLD SCHOOL!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">But - let´s face it - it won´t take long and the magazines as we love them, will have gone extinct :-(</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Year after year we loose another magazine and the whole market is becoming smaller and smaller, which is a pretty sad development. I see the chances - of course - as well (cutting printing costs, distribution etc. etc. ) BUT still - I don´t like it...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Enough complaining - there is good within the digital publishing world as well and one of those things is <a href="http://www.issuu.com/" target="_blank">ISSUU</a>. I have just learned, that there is a digital only STAR WARS magazine called THE EMPIRE!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In their own words:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>The EMPIRE</b> monthly is the official web-magazine of the 501st Legion Russian Outpost. The 501st Legion is a worldwide Star Wars costuming organization comprised of and operated by Star Wars fans. While it is not sponsored by Lucasfilm Ltd., it is Lucasfilm's preferred Imperial costuming group.</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It´s a fan magazine covering the activities of the 501s and it looks promising - you can check it out here:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: normal;">Comix is a monthly comic promotion magazine, with lots of news about the creative force of bringing comics to the market. This month they have a nice MARVEL themed SW cover. The article is about the new (old) home of the STAR WARS franchise back to MARVEL. Nothing too deep, sadly the love and effort DARK HORSE has put into the STAR WARS SAGA is not praised enough (probably because of lack of knowlege/passion) - anyway I´m not complaining....</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Due to it´s limited run this will be a tough mag to get.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">It´s not really a MUST HAVE, because the cover basically only features the TV series logo, but then again ;-)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Inside you find a lot of coverage about the German Toy fair and one article especially about new STAR WARS toys (2 pages)</span><br />

Though this magazine is from 2012, I just found it these days - and boy, am I glad I did!!!<br />
<b>BACK ISSUE</b> by itself is a treat! What a wonderful magazine covering all things comics, their creators and histories behind characters and stories. <a href="http://twomorrows.com/" target="_blank">Twomorrows Publishing</a> is a specialized publisher, who does exactly that: Celebrating comics and graphic novels at it´s highest level. If you are somehow drawn to comics - and who isn´t (well, at least if you are a SW fan and / or magazine collector) THIS is a magazine worth checking out!<br />
They offer everything online and you can choose between a printed and/or a digital copy.<br />
<b>Back to No. 55</b> - well <b>THIS IST THE ULTIMATE STAR WARS ISSUE</b>! <a href="http://twomorrows.com/" target="_blank">Twomorrows</a> covers everything worth mentioning about each and every STAR WARS DARK HORSE comic - what a ride!<br />
I can honestly say this is the best, most interesting read concerning STAR WARS I had this year! Period! Best of all: You can grab a sneak peek directly <a href="http://issuu.com/twomorrows/docs/backissue55preview/1?e=2241656/1654549" target="_blank">here</a> - and do yourself a favor - buy the digital copy of No. 55 (and after that - support them and subscribe ;-) ) At least, that is what I did! Enjoy!<br />

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">That is just one headline of many really interesting articles fom the GALAXIS magazine no.3 December 2012 with a fantastic Boba Fett cover. <br />This issue of Galaxis is... let me quote ´the magazine of science fiction and science. Complete episode guide to the original Battlestar Galactica, a visit to CERN, SpaceX takes off, classic short fiction, our epic Prometheus review, wuxia and Star Wars, SF authors Charles Yu and Lev Grossman, presidential SF politics, and much more´<br />It is certainly a good read and - did I mention it - it´s <span style="font-size: x-small;">just 2.99 US$ cheap (Actually it dropped to FREE)</span>! You can read the digital copy right <a href="http://issuu.com/weimarworldservice/docs/galaxis3" target="_blank">here</a> via <a href="http://issuu.com/weimarworldservice/docs/galaxis3" target="_blank">ISSUU</a> - worth checking out. Of course - as a collector - I prefer the <span style="font-size: x-small;">p</span>rint <span style="font-size: x-small;">c</span>opy which is also available! I can only recommend supporting the printed Galaxis mag with an order of a <a href="http://www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/469536/follow" target="_blank">printed copy</a>, as good Sci-Fi publications are fading fast in these digital times...but that´s just MHO.<br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Thank you John Zipperer for sharing your passion with us!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After all this years, we will finally enjoy the third trilogy of STAR WARS.

Ceased in 2008 it was one of the few loooooong time running mags to exit the publishing market. I still remembering reading those first copies covering STAR WARS (though I have even better memories of FANTASTIC FILMS - but that magazine won´t return for sure). Back than, the UK was really far away and getting a copy at our international newspaper stand was a tough challenge.

I´m not sure if you know this, but compared to the United States LEGO is really far behind sharing their love for LEGO toys here in Europe. As there is always everytime a story, poster etc. in the US issues, LEGO ist cutting back the coverage in half - though the SW sets are at least as popular in Europe as they are in the USA. Don´t ask me why they do it, but I have a lot of LEGO magazines and catalogs proving that the company really ´removes´and / or changes ´articles´ in favour for some other LEGO related coverage!
