I've been thinking about getting an issue of IGMS. Which issue do y'all think is the best? I actually kind of want to read the latest one but I thought I'd get a second opinion.

Clearly the third issue is the best....

I'm partial to issue #1



There's a preview feature for each story, for each issue. Read through 'em, and make your decision. If you're reading for the Enderverse stories, though, issue #1's is the strongest. I liked Cheater and Pretty Boy fine, but I've cared about Mazer for longer than I've cared about Han Tzu.

Also issue #1 has the best extra feature yet-- a comic book adaptation of OSC's Fat Farm by the incomparable Jin Han

In my opinion, anyway.

I haven't really gotten into issue 3 yet, but between the first two I'd vote for #1--an all-around satisfying issue, worth well more than $2.50! And I must say, Scott R's story was great. As was the Mazer story.

Oliver . . . I just picked up on the fact that you wrote an article in #3--congratulations! My comment was not to diss you in any way, I just haven't read your story yet. Will remedy that immediately. Well, maybe not immediately. Gotta read Cheater first.

Whew. I'm reading through them right now. Out of 1 and 2, I liked 1 better all around. Still need to read 3.
