SFX

I have been subscribed to SFX magazine for quite some time now and although I can get a lot of the news and other info from the internet I still enjoy the read. So as you can probably guess from the title, the mag will appeal to anyone who is into the Science-Fiction and Fantasy genre. This can range from Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter to Farscape and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Whatever you're into there's always something interesting to read.The magazine is 122 pages in total and covers all of the latest news and views in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy world. The magazine costs around £3.60 in the shops but you can get it cheaper if you subscribe. I currently ...  Read the complete review

Of all the Science Fiction magazines I have read; which is all the main ones, SFX is the best. I started reading it because my boyfriend buys it and he was always raving about it, but now I can see why. There are usually a wide range of articles and interviews, presented in a funny manner. Most of the magazines I have read take themselves too serious, but they often make jokes and even put the critical reviews into the letters page! There are sections for sci-fi/ fantasy books as well as the usual films. There is also a 'spoiler' zone which is selaed in the middle and tellls of the next 2/4 episodes of the main series such as Voyager and Buffy. ...  Read the complete review

SFX is a monthly magazine published by Future Publishing in Bath, UK. One of the big plus points of this is that it has a British bias, a refreshing change for us this side of the water. Alongside the usual Buffy and Star Trek articles it's not afraid to feature Dr Who or Blakes 7. SFX is the Science Fiction magazine for grown-ups. Well, more grown up than some other magazines. Intelligently written articles and reviews make you feel it's OK to be a sci-fi fan. It's not necessary to sit in your bedroom making Vulcan ears out of the liquid latex that came with your "Make a Star Wars Chess Set" kit. SFX says you can stand up and be ...  Read the complete review

This is a magazine with a great glossy cover. The pics on the cover are sometimes worth the price of the mag themselves. The only problem I've found with this mag is that you will struggle to find it unless you subscribe, or ask your newsagent to get it for you. It tries to cover a wide range of media, from movie to TV to games, books and videos and does a fair job of it too. I wish they had a few more books in their review, but so far they haven't lead me astray and I've found some nice new titles through them. It also covers the oldies as well as the newcomers in movies as well as books, something which not many other mags do well. The ...  Read the complete review

Way back in August 1995 I bought the first three issues of SFX at the World Science Fiction convention in Glasgow. I was so pleased to find a SF magazine at last without a almost exclusive American outlook! When I returned to Australia, I ordered this magazine through my newsagent. The years went on and the price crept up - due to the exchange rate I am sure. It is now almost A$10 an issue. I stopped buying it as of last month. Why did you ask? Well, I was finding it was getting a little to, how do I put this, trendy. It could be me that has changed of course, but I was finding the information a little too breezy and light. I will miss reading SFX ...  Read the complete review
