Paizo and WOTC are officially cancelling DRAGON and DUNGEON, the two oldest magazines in roleplaying. For years they were among the very best the industry had to offer. Much of what I learned about non-TSR games I got through them, and the fiction they ran was great. Who noe remembers that John Betancourt and Harry Turtledove rane some of their earliest stories in the hallowed pages of DRAGON?
:sniff: Farewell, old friends.
And on a less-exalted level, Marvel Comics (the House of Increasingly Tasteless Ideas) has produced a romance comic aimed at teenaged girls. So who features in the first story? Aunt May -- in a sexed up story, no less.
And oh yes, the general tone of the comic is very sleazy and slutty, apparently because the writers feel that "That's what young girls are like." If you can't believe this, and I don't blame you, I'll see if I can find a link somewhere around here.
Go ahead, guys, every time you pull another stunt like this you remind me why I'm not buying your stuff any more.

I haven't bought a Dragon or Dungeon magazine in years. They just kept getting thinner and thinner - with more ads.
