Indeed the action comes thick and fast, as the somewhat ropey storyline (in the best 40K traditions) of the ‘prologue’ develops at a frenetic pace, with lot of BOOM’s, KRAKOOM’s and BRRRAPPA’s thrown in for good measure. It started off well, with the semi-gloss A4 format emphasising the quality of the illustrations inside. However, I like to think I am open minded about being down with the kids, and so was looking forward to giving this 40K comic a fair shake of the stick. I confess I am not a fan of comics – I dabbled in graphic novels when I was younger, and I much appreciated the efforts of the ABC Warriors and Aliens universes, but the comic genre is something that has never really hooked me. It appears these rumours are well founded, as the October issue also comes with a seemingly handsome freebie, namely a new 40K comic. Rumours had proceeded the re-release of White Dwarf that the first four ‘new’ issues would all have something free with them, to help break in the change as well as entice new readers to flock to its pages. The September issue built up a lot of good will with readers old and new through a much vaunted and celebrated marketing mechanic – free stuff on the cover! It was hard to argue with a magazine that offered a free miniature that was worth three times the cost of the magazine, and so most peoples criticism was filtered through this fact and almost certainly benefited from an optimistic appraisal (especially from me). In case you have been living in a warp storm for the last week, yes Genestealer cultist are back Has it managed to maintain the momentum of last month’s issue, or slipped back into the bad old habits of yestermonth? Let’s have a look… As you will see form the review I wrote for that issue, my feelings were that, overall it was a step in the right direction but it still had many problems to deal with and a long way to go until it was back to its absolute best.Īnother month has gone by, and with it another has come another instalment of the venerable White Dwarf.
Having not bought a copy of White Dwarf in over 10 years prior to last month, I decided to break that run and give the much heralded ‘new format’ ago.
