Comic Foundry problem 4 was due out on Wednesday, however it’s unfortunately been delayed a week (until October 15), which means I’ve been providing a reprieve as well as can barely squeak out my comments on the previous issue.
I still haven’t completed reading the whole thing — there’s a great deal of interesting, different material right here — however I’m positive that this is still accurate: it’s the very best comic magazine being published. After a rough start, problem #2 made some important improvements, as well as now the personnel seems to have discovered its stride.
The style is positive as well as contemporary — as well many magazines these days seem to miss out on a few of the basics, like readability (Comics Now!) or approachability (the grey blocks of TwoMorrows’ publications are off-putting) — with material you won’t be embarrassed to be seen with (Wizard).
It truly covers the variety of comics offered today, too. When they deal with the people behind the material, like running a function on “the cutest creator couples in comics”, it’s a fresh approach that doesn’t seem fawning or inappropriate. In short, I’m looking ahead to the next issue, as well as you should be too.
