I'm not a <i>Wizard</i> reader and I'm not defending it, but I also think it's pretty cheesy for <i>Comic Foundry</i> to take <i>Wizard</i> so heavily to task for stuff that's either a) similar to what <i>CF</i> is also doing, or b) just silly (like the similarity in two, consecutive covers and two Q&As about similar subject matter). If all the <i>Wizard</i> covers for, say, six months had "hot actresses from comics movie sequels that haven't been released yet," I might think Tim had a point. But two in a row isn't a trend, it's a coincidence. He certainly did have a point about the <i>Mighty Avengers</i> article, but he belabored it until it became ridiculous and I started questioning his sincerity. “Unless you’re a fan of good writing…”

He was calling out how similar the 2 consecutive covers were. He goes on to further call out Wizard how similar the questions that accompanied the cover stories were. He was trying to point out that the magazine needed more imagination and originality. Somewhere, somehow, somebody made this a sexist issue, which wasn't what I got from all this in the first place.
