| Re: DeathRay magazine. I picked up a copy on Friday. I thught it wasn't bad - better than SFX, anyway. I just hope it doesn't turn into a fan rag for either Buffy, Heroes, Dr Who, BSG or whatever the latest media sf craze happens to be. Interestingly, in the books review section most of the books were given 4 stars, even though the review itself made it clear the reviewer hadn't been that impressed... |

| Re: DeathRay magazine. I read SFX but not come across Deathray but even some SFXers are saying it's quite good. Although Sci-Fi now is getting a bit of a bashing. Oh thanks for the link I posted it on SFX the review is harsh and not very endearing to the writer. |

| Re: DeathRay magazine. I got Deathray #1 not had a chance to pick #2 up. It seems to approach the subject matter from a similar style of SFX but I'd say is going for the more experienced fans rather than SFX which seems to pitch from new fan up. I was happy too that they included some anime reviews, but they all seemed to be from one company's releases. ;// Also a review of #2 is up. |
