FunFare, the newest consumer magazine geared toward families about the joy derived from toys and games, hits retailers today. Published by Wizard Entertainment founder and CEO Gareb Shamus, FunFare takes the humor of Wizard's collector-targeted magazine ToyFare and expands the focus to families.
Yes, Wizard Magazine is starting a toys/games magazine aimed at families. And I have a preview of the first issue's cover right here, behind the cut!
I admit it. I should probably be deeply ashamed for this.
On the other hand, Wizard Magazine hasn't had the greatest reputation for creating family-friendly entertainment in the past.
What with half of all Wizard Magazine covers featuring a half-naked starlet or cheesy superheroine pin-up, most of their articles featuring photos of similarly unclad starets, a strip club running a large booth at Wizard World Chicago and the last Wizard World Texas sharing floor space with a major Horror Con... to say nothing of the last time I went to Wizard World and the biggest draws being The Suicide Girls and some woman who poses semi-nude on MySpace...
... well, I think you can forgive me poking a little fun in this case.
God Bless the USA and her Liberal Parody Laws! :D
Ha!
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is, I'm surprirsed that Wizard is even still in business. Their sophmoric and sexist attitude, not to mention their history of blatant bias towards people in the business like Kevin Smith and Alex Ross, hasn't exactly helped with their reputation.
They're faultering, though. They canceled Wizard World Texas and there's word WW LA may be next.
