Armor Magazine

A concept provoked by a discussion on Paolo’s blog about what a cool new SF/F mag with a targeted core audience (those of us who are young, into playing HALO, etc) might look like:

Not bad for a quick mockup based on a conversation. It’s intriguing. What do you think?

    I would buy it, and I’d definitely submit stories to it.

    ooo, how to met SF girls! There’s a few bucks outa my pocket for that one. :)

  3. 3. Jeff Beeler

    The last story “How to meet girls who like SciFi” should be the lead story.

  4. 4. Tim Akers

    Yeah, I’d buy it. Then again, that’s pretty much what Inferno! magazine and the whole Black Library line is all about.

    I love it!

    The How to Meet Girls who like SciFi is hilarious, almost sounds like an ad which should be on the side of most torrent sites or craigslist.
