More irrelevance going the way of the dodo.

Final Issue

It’s truly the end of an era. Nearly 20 years after it burst on the scene in 1991 Wizard magazine and its sister publication ToyFare have ceased publication.

I gotta say I didn't even realize these mags were still in print. I was never a big reader of either but whenever I hit my lcs or went into an actual bookstore I never saw them on the stands.

Admittedly they're going digital so we're not quite rid of them. Well that's not totally fair. Back when I collected action figures Toyfair was a great previews type mag as they had a wider range of info than Diamond Previews.

Still, that Wizard itself survived this long totally baffles me.

I quit buying Wizard about 2 years ago. I get my comics news online.

I'm sure they're still HOT top of the charts sure to be quality investment books.

I'm glad to see them go. Hated the mag...had no redeeming value in my eyes. Hated their conventions as well...

And I think that's as much vitriol as I can muster tonight.
