The use of blue for the newsstand cover is perfect for a November issue, and I'm liking the slight change in direction. However, I couldn't go as far as to describe the outcome as... sexy. The colours of the subscribers cover are lovely (love the Fendi), but the newsstand is far better in comparison. Lately, subscribers are getting the short end of the stick with these alterative covers. There's nothing creative, visually stimulating or remotely collectable about them.
A total dud of an issue in terms of yet ANOTHER Erik Madigan Heck story. Fingers crossed Lydia Slater is wiling to branch out a little more for future issues, now she's officially the magazine's new editor.
