 The Price Isn't Right July 20, 2008

Amazon.com has always offered products at a decent price (or better). Why, then, are they tripling the cost of this magazine subscription?

I haven't received my first issue yet, so how can I review it? Ask me again when I have received and read it.
The definitive Dr. Who magazine in a convenient, if pricey AMAZON package May 27, 2006

It's a glossy high quality mag. done for fans by fans. Cover to cover it's 66 pages of interesting stuff about 41 years of Doctor Who. Doctor Who Monthly is loaded with original color photo spreads and articles about the TV show, new and old. It covers related books, DVDs, CDs, appearances, conventions, merchandize, and more. DWM has insightful interviews with series stars past, present and future. The new series' producer Russel T. Davies, as a fan, gives exclusive info and interviews to the magazine, out of respect and thanks for all the years he enjoys DWM before working on the series. Learn TORCHWOOD spin-off info here first, which books, toys and DVDs are due out and reviews for them in OFF THE SHELF. Read set reports from the episodes in production and post-production. Read regular features like my favorite: THE TIME TEAM, a monthly column in which 4 reviewers are watching all 723 original episodes (about 8 per month), commenting and keeping track of "DEATHS ON SCREEN SO FAR" (830 as of episode 537), also "instances of 1 or more REGULARS BEING RENDERED UNCONSCIOUS" (163 as of episode 537) and " 1 or more REGULARS BEING INCARCERATED" (216 as of episode 537) on the CLICHE COUNTER. DWM is published by MARVEL COMIC UK so there is always a 4 or 6 part comic strip, currently featuring the 10th Doctor and Rose.
If love the series this is the best publication on the market related to the series, although DreamWatch is easier to find at a Barnes and Nobles, but you might get only one Dr. Who article in it. DWM runs about $7.99 cover (apart from AMAZON), publishing 13 magazines per year (there's an ANNUAL special), you can special order issues without a subscription at some bookstores or most comicbook shops. That's actually $113. 87 after tax, so for convenience (17 dollars of convenience, sir), the Amazon subscription at $130.73 maybe the choice for you or one at a time somewhere else, either way it's a great mag.

I have been an off-and-on again reader of Doctor Who Magazine for close to 20 years. I was happy to find the ability to order the magazine, through Amazon, and have it delivered at home. I eagerly wait for it to come each month in the mail and read most of it straight away. I have been extremely impressed with the quality of the magazine and the condition in which it arrives in the mail. Doctor Who was a big part of my teenage years and now that I have a child of my own, Doctor Who Magazine helps me to be young again, at least for a little while.
Way too expensive July 9, 2005

Going along with M. Blake:
This is a wonderful magazine, and is chock full of information on both the classic and new series - great for those of us in the US that don't get to see it. The interviews, previews, audio review, etc. are all great. I especially liked the "Fact of Fiction" for the missing stories, as they give a very nice insight to what they were like.
What's not great is the pricetag from Amazon. The issues that I have are marked at 6.50 USD. That's only 84.50 USD for all 13 issues. Either get them from a comic book store that will charge you just the cover price, or buy them from eBay. Either way, you'll save yourself over 40 bucks.
