Comic Foundry

Has anyone picked up this new comics rag?

I haven't been a big fan of Wizard since I was in high school. This looks like it might actually have some content worth reading.

"Sex and Comics: What your comics say about you."

I mean this in the nicest way, that's some dumb shit and makes the magazine instantly not worth buying even if it's a fucking revelation in the magazine world. I don't care if the print a counter-proof to the theory of relativity. Anything that prints something that vapid should be torched in the courtyard.

And it adds a story on Fanboy Fashion. I'm afraid I'm going to be inclined to agree with schild on this one.

I was referring more to the people named for interviews on the upper right corner. I couldn't give a rats ass about Fanboy Fashion. That dude's shirt on the cover is ugliness-on-cotton. I guess this is a late save but I was in a hurry for class.

If it has interviews with Brian Wood, Adrian Tomine, Garth Ennis, and Brian K. Vaughan, it can't be too bad. Unless all the questions are geared towards whether or not they wear Argyle stitched Incredible Hulk socks.

Avril Lavigne FTL.

I love how every magazing for boys these days, no matter what is ostensibly about, has to have shit about gadgets or rockers or fashion or whatever.

I guess I'll just stick with these guys:

For some reason, there isn't a comic shop in Miami that sells a hard copy of The Comics Journal, which leaves me with what's on the web. I think it's really the only magazing out there that is dedicated soley to comics. Unless you can also get Comic Book Resources off the racks.

The more I look at it, the more Comics Foundry seems to be for hipsters with funny haircuts.

I read Walking Dead, Fables and Stray Bullets. I wonder what that says about me sexually.

I'm unsure why you'd need anything other than what's available on the web.  The comics industry is pretty small.  There's not usually enough going on at any given time to make for an interesting magazine on a monthly basis, hence filler material like shit about fashion or Sex and Comics.

I look for excuses to visit the comic shop. Call me old fashioned, but I like to hold a hard copy in my hands while I'm reading.
