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 - 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.
