I'm wary of these things as I once started collecting a Star Trek one (it didn't have nice figurines though, just magazines) & it went on for ages. I still have them all, but they take up so much room.

This has an initial run of 24 with the option to extend (though I don't imagine that it will based on how poorly other magazines are fairing).

The test magazines they ran with select subscribers earlier in the year obviously had a good return, because 24 to 80 is a big bump.

Might be worth it for the figures, but I'm not sure the magazines would tell us anything new. It doesn't seem much different to Monster Invasion.

Issue one is now on sale. I saw it this week in the shops and the figure actually looks really cool. I didn't buy it because I know I'd be starting something that I'd force myself to continue, but they do look good.
