Transplant Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 You guys know that this place has PMs, right? All the random frivolity of shooting the s**t with friends and none of the public frustration of 3 pages of wasted space. mysterio, Timmay and BlowUpTheMoon 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run run run run run run run. Just looking at the stock's 5 year price chart tells you all you need to know -- lost nearly 66% of it's value in that time, even during this current bull market. Bleeding Cool also did an article several months ago about their shady dealings with insiders, such as pre-paying some oddball lease term (like 21 months) of their corporate HQ rent, space which they're renting from the current CEO (I think its the CEO, definitely a member of their board though). Wizard is clearly positioning itself to reorganize in bankruptcy court, which would wipe out the common stock holders in the process.

VintageComics Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Wizard Returns As A Magazine, With Brian Walton As EIC Really? OK, so it's just a quarterly mag with digital daily news.

Years ago, the UK's Comics International magazine changed from monthly to quarterly and lasted barely six issues.

mattn792 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I'm no scientician, but the thought process of "print is dying, we're hemorrhaging money, let's go back into print!" doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I did very much enjoy Inquest in my MTG playing pre-internet days though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think so but they were the only game in town back in the 90s. Now there are dozens of websites set up to give hot book info and speculation lists. Unless they have a crystal ball that works there is really nothing they can bring to the table at this point. F For Fake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what killed Comics International magazine in the mid-2000s; going to quarterly issues and having nothing but old news that you'd read for free on websites such as CBR a couple of months before.
