Subject-verb agreement. It needs to be either "issues of your favorite journals" or "issue of your favorite journal". Which one you choose is up to your aesthetics (I prefer the latter.)

I think either way would sound just fine, but be consistent: "latest issues of your favorite journals" or "latest issue of your favorite journal." If I have one favorite journal, then there is one latest issue of it. If I have multiple favorite journals, then each one has a latest issue.

It could be "issues" of "journal". I'm interested in both the Spring and Summer Edition of "Bare Naked Needlepointing". The latest issues of my favorite journal.

Why not? You can go to a fashion show to see all the latest fashions. No one claims that their dress is the latest, and all the rest are merely "later".

But they're all contemporaneous with each other. But I suppose you are correct. The spring and summer issues would be the two latest issues. But there's no reason to get into that sort of technicality.

Nope, this is not subject-verb agreement. In fact, neither word in question is a verb.
Any of the four combinations is grammatically acceptable. Go with what your sense of aesthetics dictates. I personally prefer them both to be plural. I like to think that folks in the librabry are avid readers, and so they will have many favorite journals, and want to read many issues. It seems to send the right vibe to me.

Did you ever worry about X the Owl being in the same tree with Henrietta Pussycat? Aren't owls predatory birds? Was there ever a "very special" episode about when good friends eat eachother?
And, I must say, that as a child, I always found Lady Elaine Fairchild to be a bit disturbing. Come to think of it, she's still a bit disturbing.
Was "Speedy Delivery" the Mailman on drugs? Seemed like.
Did you ever see Chef Brockett wash his hands before he started cooking something? I never did.
Was it just me, or did everyone notice Mr. Rogers pushing the buttons that made Trolley Trolley go back and forth?

Who goes by their middle name all the time? Mr. Rogers and his friends usually refer to him as "Daniel Tiger". Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

Um, me? From 3rd grade through the year after HS? And that's still how many people know me.
Anyway, pretty sure he is always introduced as Daniel Striped Tiger. If I weren't in the middle of moving, I'd haul out my mom's videotape collection and start checking. Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003
