Comic Heroes Magazine

Post by Shadowman99 »

Was just in my local supermarket (in the UK) and came across a great magazine called Comic Heroes. Are any of you American lot familiar with this mag? I've never seen it before, and had it not been £10 I would have bought it, because I really wanted to anyway... But I'm a poor student now so I can't afford luxuries like that anymore :p

There was some reasonably decent Valiant coverage in it, including the Valiant double page spread Unity variant cover on the very first inside page, and a four/five page lettered preview for Eternal Warrior 2 in the back in the 'upcoming' section which was nice to see. EW looks like a good comic too :p

Only bummer was that there was an interview with the new Shadowman artist in the mag, but the Shadowman art had been described as being from a comic called The Discipline (or something like that) :(

But yeah, just wondering if you guys know of it in the states, as it's printed in the UK. I know that doesn't actually make a difference, but it does seem to suggest it might be a UK only mag.

I haven't heard of it.
Valiant is the son of the New Universe.

The same here.

They have it in the US, Barnes and Nobles around my area stock it in the magazine section, in the comics area. I rarely buy it since it's pretty pricey.

I've heard of it. I've bought several times. It's a really good magazine. It come with a bunch of different comic swag from pins to postcards to even a green lantern ring. The articles and the reviews are pretty spot-on. I only have two issues and the reasons I don't pick it up anymore. 1. The price tag is about 20 dollars US. 2. Since it is a UK magazine we in the states usually get 3-4 months late which is a real bummer for me. It really bums me out that I don't get it anymore.

I just don't understand why it's so expensive. It's really no more substantial than any other magazine out there, the page count is possibly a little higher than the norm, but although the content looks good I just can't bring myself to pay that much money for a simple magazine :?
