The first issue of Comic Foundry, the print magazine that Diamond almost didn’t carry, will be in stores this Wednesday, per Editor Tim Leong:
Hey!
I wanted to let you know that Comic Foundry, the new magazine about comics, will be in stores THIS WEEK!
Though we originally expected a Sept. 5th release date, we just found out the mag is debuting early — which is great because the wait is finally over. It’s been a long and arduous journey so I’m excited to get it on stands.
Comic Foundry is different because it is as diverse as the people who read comics. Although Wizard and The Comics Journal address the two very opposite ends of fandom, no one is speaking to the wide and growing number of fans who find themselves somewhere in between. Comic Foundry was created to do exactly that, defying traditional stereotypes about comic book fans with a smart, stylish package designed to draw readers of every strip into the fold. Comic Foundry will begin publishing quarterly in 2008, with our next issue in the Spring.
The first issue features contributions from several people who might be familiar to readers of this blog, including Graeme McMillan, Kevin Melrose, Ian Brill, Brigid Alverson and me. More info can be found here.

Six bucks for a magazine about the industry with interviews and the issue of lack of timeliness when compared to the free internet sites or six bucks worth of comics…decisions, decisions

That’s a really bad first cover/impression.
