mags-Wizard: Caught between geekdom and mainstream

Sat, 8 Dec 2007 18:14:00 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Chad9976 - When Wizard: The Guide To Comics first debuted in the summer of 1991 it was a breath of fresh air to the comic book community. Until then the only real magazine about comics was The Comics Buyer’s Guide, which was very bare bones as far as...

mags-Wizard: A Decent Magazine, But a Terrible Price Guide

Thu, 23 Aug 2007 14:37:03 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author duke101 - In every comic book fan, there is a battle raging between two conflicting interests: collecting comics for value and reading them for fun. But it is virtually impossible to do both at once. Do you seal up the comic book for the ages and avoid reading...

mags-Wizard: Your Guide To The Comics Guide

Tue, 18 Mar 2003 19:55:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author alterleo - Alright, I'm going to start of by saying, I've only been a comic book fan for about 10 years. This was only because of my friends. I moved to a new town, and the friends I got were aspiring comic book artists, and thus, comic book fans. After a while, it...

mags-Wizard: Are the writers Wizards?

Tue, 30 Apr 2002 15:49:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xpander007 - I have been collecting comics on and off for about seven years now. Wizard magazine has been there every step of the way. When it comes to information about comics and toys look no further than Wizard. There are a ton of things I like about the...

mags-Wizard: Pay No Attention To The Man Behind The Curtain....

Sat, 28 Jul 2001 12:44:02 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfish - It used to be that Wizard, as the new comic book review mag on the street, took its job as underdog very seriously. They cared about getting market share from demographics not previously targeted in the comic book markets. They cared about targetting...

mags-Wizard: Wizard? What happened?

Sat, 28 Apr 2001 13:19:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tiffchuff - I used to be relatively happy to pick a new issue of Wizard at the local comic book store. But in the last few months, I have been relatively disappointed. Why? Wizard, in my opinion, is declining..and kind of fast.

mags-Wizard: It's a kind of...magic?

Thu, 19 Apr 2001 21:13:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author night_vision - Wizard, for those of you that don’t know, is subtitled “The Comics Magazine”. I’d quite happily dispute the “The” Tag attached to it, but otherwise this sums up exactly what Wizard is, and what it’ll do for you. It’s a magazine about comics, and all...

mags-Wizard: wizard is out of touch

Sat, 24 Feb 2001 01:05:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author chickenpuppet - Wizard has long been the fan favorite of comic info and price guides. It originally came into circulation to compete with the then out-of-touch Overstreet Monthly Price Guide Update. Wizard was quickly so widely accepted that Overstreet's monthly...

mags-Wizard: It was the best, but sadly its going downhill.

Thu, 7 Sep 2000 23:12:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author t13monkeys - I have been reading Wizards since the 1990s when I was a wee lad. Okay I'm not that old then, but I've seen this magazine change and change from near when it began. I feel it's gotten better in some ways, but they seem to be running short of ideas...

Mon, 24 Jul 2000 20:54:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author elvisdo - "Wizard... The Comics Magazine." For someone who has been collecting comics for 21 years with over 10,000 comics in his possession (seriously, I don't know how it happened), Wizard is definitely a must-have magazine. Whenever I...

mags-Wizard: Only Comic Magazine That Matters

Sun, 16 Jul 2000 23:10:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Kevman39 - For 8 years now I've been a huge comic book fan. Since the first time I saw it back at around issue 20, I've been buying Wizard and let me just say, it is the best resource out there for comic book fans.

Tue, 11 Apr 2000 16:14:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MIDOG - I am definitely going to have to subscribe to this one. I have been an avid comic book reader since Moses was a Private. I still love reading the X-men, Wolverine, Tombraider, and other titles. It seems that, these days, there are new titles spreading...

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 01:34:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author x2kbran - I love Wizard. It's one of the only magazines I read on a regular basis (in addition to The Hockey News and Sports Illustrated). I'm the first to admit that I'm not a hardcore comic collector, and I can't tell you in what issue of X-Men Wolverine beat...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jeditrickster - Wizard the self proclaimed Guide To Comics. Is just that and then some.

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 16:02:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author deljer - Wizard is THE comic collector's magazine. Stuffed with news, rumors, and prices, it's an entertaining read as well as informative. However there are some small negatives which certain readers will find quite bothersome.

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 00:09:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jiggynf - About four years ago, I picked up an issue of Wizard, not because I was interested in comic news, but because I wanted to read the information about the X-files previewed on the cover. Since that day, I haven't put the magazine down. It's crazy jokes...

Tue, 16 Nov 1999 23:50:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Shdw749 - Wizard is By Far the best Comic Book Magazine that is out there on the market today. If there are any others out there they are dwarfed by Wizard. It doesn't matter if you are a collecter, a reader, a seller, or a combination of all three, Wizard is...
