So I’m going to give it another try. Something like that — short pieces on disposable subjects — makes for good bathroom reading. :)

They sucked me in with Buffy coverage and on the whole, the magazine isn’t bad. I could take or leave the price guide and yes, there are a lot of juvinile jokes smooshed in there but I’ve enjoyed the articles I’ve read so far.

The problem is, Wizard already has that similair frat boy attitude, it’s hard to feel hopeful that he might turn things around

He may actually be a good editor.

Now we can have some really hard hitting articles in Wizard like “25 Secrets to make your SuperGirl scream for more in the bedroom!” and “Blast those Abs with our “Longbox Lift” program!”
Color me not surprised…

While I’ve never bought/read Wizard, I’ll be curious to see if an effort to get more mainstream/pop culture, he doesn’t use some of his experience gained as “Associate Editor of Sports Illustrated For Kids”. If I was a pundit who wanted to see Wizard change, I’d contact the new EIC and see if he’s willing to listen to constructive feedback or engage in a dialogue regarding the image problem Wizard suffers from in some circles. Or we could just focus on his FHM work and assume it’ll be more of the same. Or we could continue to voice our opinion with our wallet. And when I say I don’t buy Wizard, I don’t buy CBG either. Like many of us, I get my news from online. Oh, and if you contact the new EIC, don’t forget to mention this.

Thanks for pointing that out.

> a men’s magazine.

And, perhaps apropos of nothing or perhaps worth noting, FHM magazine has been discontinued, in its U.S. print version at least.

Me: 1
Wizard: 0
