The first issue I’ve read of this magazine was better than any other single issue from a fiction magazine that I’ve ever read. Admittedly, I’m not a subscriber to any (well, before this), so I don’t see a lot of them. A lot of the reason why I don’t subscribe or seek out magazines is that they are so hit or miss for me. Hell, even the Year’s Best anthologies usually are a crap shoot for me as far as individual stories go. But this, this was awesome! I’d read this over any other source of short stories any day.

My only complaint? There’s so much in it that the type and margins were small so everything would fit. I had to wear my glasses to alleviate eye strain. On the other hand, I think my glasses make me look more intelligent and cooler.
