I remember seeing that one alongside the others. I used Wizard to keep up with all the storylines in comics I couldn't or didn't read. It was pretty thorough stuff. Now I gotta Google that shit and it's not fun.

Yeah they had interesting interviews and previews a lot, too.
Though, they did spoil a major death for me from Y: The Last Man in a two page illustrated spread of all the "Superheroes" who had died that year. I was so pissed I took a bite out of that issue, threw it against the wall, and canceled my subscription.

That sucks.
I should've subscribed, I bought them each month.

I used to LOVE reading Toyfare but only read Wizard when the cover caught my eye. Didn't make it any less awesome though. Still have an issue I bought at Kroger one time because the cover had Wolverine fighting Snake Eyes.

ToyFare was my favorite, I had so many hours of fun reading and re-reading those. That and the PC Gamer magazine's with demo discs made the magazine racks in grocery stores worth having. I still need to pick up those collected volumes of Twisted ToyFare Theatre.

I loved those game demo mags, too. Most wouldn't play on my computer, but whatever worked was fun to try.
Have to look into those TTF collections. That was good stuff.

I loved Twisted ToyFare Theatre and I love stop motion animation. Oddly, I never really got into Robot Chicken. I think the addition of voice acting killed the humor for me, just works better reading those dumb jokes in your head.
