COMIX cover, with - well a comics story ....

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....Due to it´s limited run this will be a tough mag to get.

The 1st STAR WARS cover of 2014

..and it is from Germany (again!) And even better, about
STAR WARS featuring the new Disney created REBELS TV series! It took a few weeks into the year, but now it´s official - the first cover is out!

It´s not really a MUST HAVE, because the cover basically only features the TV series logo, but then again ;-)
Inside you find a lot of coverage about the German Toy fair and one article especially about new STAR WARS toys (2 pages)

BACKISSUE No 55 - STAR WARS at DARK HORSE

Though this magazine is from 2012, I just found it these days - and boy, am I glad I did!!!
BACK ISSUE by itself is a treat! What a wonderful magazine covering all things comics, their creators and histories behind characters and stories. Twomorrows Publishing 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!
They offer everything online and you can choose between a printed and/or a digital copy.
Back to No. 55 - well THIS IST THE ULTIMATE STAR WARS ISSUE! Twomorrows covers everything worth mentioning about each and every STAR WARS DARK HORSE comic - what a ride!
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 here - 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!

May the Mouse be with you

Bloomberg Businessweek runs the Disney/Lucasfilm sales story.
Probably not your everyday leisure magazine, Bloomberg Businessweek runs an in-dept story about how George Lucas prepared the selling of his company and what might happen with our beloved saga. A very interesting article (also availabe online here) but - of course - as a magazine collector, even better in printed form ;-)

Happy New Year 2013!

To all my readers, followers and fellow magazine collectors: Happy new year, again! As always I promise to post more stuff, but - well - wait a second, that is exactly the same phrase from last year ;-) Well, it´s just because nothing has changed...

Except that we have a new COUNTDOWN for STAR WARS episode VII!!!!!! Just when you thought, magazine collecting becomes boring, STAR WARS is back in full swing. I´m really exited about this!!!

Don´t forget:  I´m always in magazine collecting mode. Just drop me a mail for news and infos... 

 Stay hungry. Stay foolish - as a well known genius used to say. Missing you, Steve

Can you hate the creator ?

That is just one headline of many really interesting articles fom the GALAXIS magazine no.3 December 2012 with a fantastic Boba Fett cover.
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´
It is certainly a good read and - did I mention it - it´s just 2.99 US$ cheap (Actually it dropped to FREE)!  You can read the digital copy right here via ISSUU - worth checking out. Of course - as a collector - I prefer the print copy which is also available! I can only recommend supporting the printed Galaxis mag with an order of a printed copy, as good Sci-Fi publications are fading fast in these digital times...but that´s just MHO.
Thank you John Zipperer for sharing your passion with us!
