So, it is really cheaper to subscribe rather than to buy all the graphic novels. I still will subscribe because I can pay for it with classroom funds, but it is pretty lame they are cutting the size.
I need to get a subscription, it costs 5.99 newsstand now, and I have bought ALL of my mags that way. But I can't say I'm really surprised that they are doing this, after all, the main point of the mag is to get people to buy graphic novels. One day, cause I was bored as hell, I sat there reading all their lines at the bottom of the page. I think that soon they will run out of stuff to say and well probably see "Buy Graphic novels you cheap bastards!"or something like that.
