4882ArticleHoju KoolanderI was a big Wizard reader and subscriber from issue 7 on, so this article was right up my alley. I actually got a Grendel 1/2 comic as a birthday present one year from a cheapskate classmate just passing along his Wizard insert. I do have to disagree with your claim that the magazine showed favoritism toward Marvel and DC though. Especially in the early days the staff acted like the books from Image and Valiant were the pinnacle of graphic storytelling along with other indie books like Shi, Bone, Hellboy and Lady Death. It was only after the early 90s boom ended and the "Big Two" were back to being the main providers of comics to the mainstream that they got more coverage. At least that was my experience. Mar 09, 2019View
4880Articlejkatz"a cheap and exploitative rag that showed obscene favor to DC and Marvel, while also overlooking the indie comics scene." I'd buy Wizards occasionally and I have to agree this is kinda true...they got a little better about it in later years, though.Five Best Wizard Magazine freebiesMar 06, 2019View
4879ArticleVaporman87I had my fair share of Wizard Magazine. I did like some of the unique covers and the pack-ins that you would get with it. I still have a stash of them hidden away somewhere, some of which are not opened.Five Best Wizard Magazine freebiesMar 06, 2019View

4876Articleechidna64YES! Chrono Trigger and ZAMN are definitely musts! I WISH Turtles in Time was on there! 10 games that should have been on the SNES ClassicMar 05, 2019View
4875Articleshakin steakFans of the first movie, look for the First Publishing graphic novel TMNT Volume IV. That collects the original comic book issues that were the basis for the film. There are scenes with the thrift store, Leonardo getting lost and beat up by the Foot Clan, April's family farm, Casey and Raph talking smack. Like most adaptations, the book takes more time, but is better than the movie! Check it out if you're so inclined. As for the space element, I agree about the Star Trek figures. Those were pretty lame. But overall, the series has a good relationship with outer-space style science fiction, if you would again go back to the Mirage/ Eastman and Laird comic books. The Triceratons were from another universe, and so were the TCRI guys that cartoon Krang was based on. There were many other story arcs besides those, that dealt with aliens and time travel. Speaking of time travel, some of the video game screenshots are from Turtles in Time which was the second arcade game, not mentioned in the text. Anyway. Not to be too critical. Great article! I always like to hear these personal memories and that counts more than anything.Turtles: The Teenage Mutant KindMar 03, 2019View

4869ArticleblueluigiHeh... I have mine modded with some of these games included. But yeah, there were some memorable games left out that would have been great for the system. Although some games like Zombies Ate My Neighbors likely wouldn't have been included to begin with due to Disney buying out LucasArts. 10 games that should have been on the SNES ClassicMar 02, 2019View
