I was so looking forward to this magazine that I think anything less than spectacular would be a let down but it was OK.Nothing really very new here.The stories were good but not great.I don't think that I will be buying anymore issues though. Maybe as time goes by I will appreciate the stories more but for right now I was kind of disappointed.
