CBM is terrible now. It's gone from a great mag with in-depth research by people with passion (Jon Berk, Gary Carter, Pat Kochanek) to a rag that has 2 kinds of articles: 1) Russ stroking himself or someone he personally knows, or 2) "Here's why I like this book" - WHO CARES?!?!
The latest Back Issue was great, and this month's Alter Ego is almost entirely Frankenstein - including a Wrightson interview and some unpublished Briefer strips. I bought all 3 on the same day, scanned through the CBM and tossed it aside. I doubt I'll get to it at all.
