Wizard Magazine

Pros: Monthly mag, fantastic humour, lots of contests and free stuff
Cons: Needs more comic price listings

"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 ...

Pros: good news on upcoming comics, lots of fluff (extra stuff)
Cons: fluff sometimes so-so, comic industry seems kind of in a slump now

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....

Pros: Some interesting stories in magazine part
Cons: The Price Guide, The Price Guide, The Price Guide...

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 ...

Pros: Great articles, special stories, humor, humor, humor.
Cons: Glossing over of titles in favor of lower selling books, in one section.

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...

Pros: Great production values, a staple in every comic book shop.
Cons: Male-centric and somewhat vulgar. A little boys club. Used to be cool.

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...

Pros: good coverage of popular comics and related movies and games; exclusive interviews.
Cons: expensive; too mainstream and youth oriented; little attention to indies and alternatives; pointless price guide.

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 ...

Pros: Great news section, interesting articles, a sense of fun.
Cons: Sycophantic to an extreme in places, and fails to really delve into anything.

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...

Pros: Most informative comic mag out, great articles
Cons: not much

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...

Pros: slick format, fun facts
Cons: terrible price guide, juvenile humor

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...

Pros: Has all the information that you would need or want to know about comics.
Cons: Number of Ads

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...

Pros: great overview of comics; funny
Cons: none

As Wizard's slogan states, they are the "Guide to Comics." Before I begin, let me brief you on my expertise of this subject. First, I have been collecting comics for over eight years. I have a few thousand comics, and about 75 issues of...

Pros: Price Guide, In depth articles, Variety
Cons: More pricey than your average magazine

THE comics magazine...

Back when I was a comic book collector, I often wondered what my rare books were worth. More importantly, I wondered what was coming up, how others rated the major companies, and what the most popular artists and...

Pros: Excellent Entertainment and news
Cons: Price Guide isn't absolutely complete.

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.
It's great to...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

Wizard the self proclaimed Guide To Comics. Is just that and then some. Wizard has in it tons of information about current events and all else that's going on in comics. Included in every issue are a number of articles containing the latest happenings...

Pros: funny, interesting, helpful
Cons: none

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...
