April 25th, 2025 - 11:32pmSo the next issue will be the last issue whereby whs will be where July issue be available. July is the month rebranding starts.
Will probably be my last issue aswell. Been buying for the past 20 years when the show returned. Have every issue including the multi covers of the same issues by The Flux. As my local whs will be closed beginning of July, no where else stocks it, the show not being great since xmas23 imo, and dont get much from it anymore unless its a book or cd with it.

April 24th, 2025 - 12:26pmHave any subscribers received their copy yet? Normally get my copy on the Wednesday, but wasn’t delivered today either. Guess it’s late due to Easter?

April 24th, 2025 - 12:47pmYes, my subscriber copy came today. Not sure if just mine but the print quality/typeface is pretty bad in the last quarter of the magazine (or so).

April 24th, 2025 - 3:55pmThanks, Kevin225 – hopefully I’ll get my copy tomorrow. I will let you know about the print quality!

April 24th, 2025 - 12:11pmI saw, but can no longer find, a post saying that there was an exclusive Target reprint of Wheel in Space in the next issue of DWM.
Did anyone else see this or have I slipped through a crack in the universe?

April 24th, 2025 - 12:14pmNo, it’s genuine. There’s a promo and picture of the cover of The Wheel in Space in the back page of this issue.

April 24th, 2025 - 2:12pm@MJS thanks, I didn’t dream it. I’ll definitely buy that issue for the Target.
