Review of "Bleeding Cool Issue #0," magazine publisher William Christensen

 Review of

Bleeding Cool Issue #0, magazine publisher William Christensen

Five out of five stars

A daring experiment, hope it succeeds

 In the introduction by Rich Johnston, he says that this is an experiment, going from the digital to print form. This is clearly bucking the current trend towards digital,  but it may work. After all, there has been a dramatic insurgence in the popularity of music on vinyl. On the second page, Johnston describes himself as a gossip columnist in the comic field, including several tidbits about the industry. Another rather unique aspect of this magazine.

 The remaining content is a series of articles and reviews about some of the recent and proposed lines of comic stories as well as statements about the trends being followed by comic publishers. Since the material is dated 2012, it is easy to determine how accurate the information is. It is generally on target; it is easy to see how interesting it would be if you were reading it as foresight only.

 I enjoyed this magazine about the comic industry. There are times when looks into the creative background of comic development are more interesting than the comics. Reading any book about Stan Lee will prove this to you.
