Why does the focus always have to shift off of the reason for this publication even existing?

And yeah, I have no complaints at all with the coverage inside–you guys do spread it around–but the cover to a magazine is it’s “face” and very important to the initial and overall impression of a magazine, in my opinion. Especially for people who may have never read an issue or don’t have any idea what it’s about. I really hope that you guys will spread the love on the cover too. I don’t think there should ever be back to back covers of any one branch of comics, whether it’s superheros or not. There’s more than enough variety in comics to not have to do that. As I said, it’s my only real beef with the mag.

It’s bizarre to me that Fraction is now known as a ’superhero writer’ despite the fact that the interview focused largely on his indie work. I mean, it makes sense — the Marvel books outsell anything else he’s done, so of course that’s how most people will know him, but still… it’s hard to wrap my brain around.

Your point is definitely taken about our cover subjects focusing on superheroes, but our interior coverage is ridiculously catholic, especially if you’re bringing Wizard into the discussion for comparison.

I’m looking forward to seeing how the magazine grows and develops though. I have nothing but the best wishes for this magazine.

I only have one real bone to pick with CF. It’s interesting to hear that they want to give even coverage to superhero, indie, and manga. Let’s see, first issue cover: superhero t-shirts; second issue cover: a superhero writer; third issue cover: spider-man mask and a comics reviewer whose recommendations are a 90% superheroes. Hm, doesn’t really seem all that even to me, maybe it’s just me. Don’t we get enough of this treatment from Wizard? How about having Julia Wertz or Umezu on the next cover? Then you can really claim to be giving fair coverage to all the different arms of the comic book industry.

Talking to them briefly at a con, it’s obvious that Tim and Laura are doing this for the pure love of comics and without any kind of agenda, and that’s really a huge asset to the industry and medium as a whole.
