July 9 -- Summer Fun

Now there is a new issue of WASHINGTON TRAILS in for summer fun outside.  If you check in our Regions & Travels section, you might find fun tips in AMERICAN ROAD, SUNSET (which has more fun local info than in days gone by), NORTHWEST TRAVEL, or places further afield -- Montana, Alaska, New York, Italy.

Meanwhile, you could check out a few new arrivals.

Brick is all about Lego, it is the Summer Music! issue from The Believer, a Writers Digest special on writing for Kids, Hi Fructose in the Pop Culture section but mostly about edgy art,  Foam is becoming more about fashion for Surf Girls but their models are girls who can swim and surf.  Or check out  Cooler, with a little more surfing.

SFX Collections - It's Torchwood!

 

Around the corner from the Science, Nature, and Business magazines, above Computers, Gadgets and Pop Culture, between the Unexplained and Theater, you will find the Movie, Films, and TV portion of the Media section.  And there you might find the current issue of SFX Collections.  This issue is the Best of British Sci-Fi 2011, and right in front is that ambiguous voracious hero Captain Jack of Torchwood.  Does this mean there will be new episodes soon?  Does Russell Davies reveal all?  And what about Red Dwarf?

Flanking SFX, new fashion magazines for the future future season, Gap Press Accessories and Pret-a-Porter for Paris/London collections and/or Milan/New York.  Lots of glossy pictures, no space wasted on ads.  Only the good stuff.

Wednesday Magazines April 28

Another busy Wednesday with many magazines arriving.

Two new titles for the sf or comic book fan -- Interzone, new to Bulldog from the UK, and Comic Book Heroes (first issue of a new series from SFX), highlighting Iron Man 2 but also has a cool article about Asterix & Obelix and one of my faves, Tin Tin. In the literary section, World Literature Today focuses on International Science Fiction, guest editor Christopher McKitterick, some bits by China Mieville. Oh and don't forget to check out the Dr Who special with David Tennant on the cover.

Seattle magazine also arrived, writing about Great Escapes. You could pick it up along with Seattle Metropolitan's Road Trips and National Geographic's Mount St Helens and create some fantasy and real trips.
