    Default Torchwood Magazine

    Well, January 2008, according to Torchwood tv:

    Shame it's from Titan.

    They raped my Dreamwatch/DWB lovin' childhood!

    Will it be one of those 'top shelf' adult magazines?

    I knew there was a reason I left that gag off my opening post.

    Do we really want to read about Torchwood every month? Apparently, we do!
    Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

    I quite like the idea. I had a feeling we'd get one sooner or later and it'll be well timed for Series 2. It's a pity DWM aren't doing it though.

    Is there really Torchwood toys on the way or is that a joke?

    I'm glad it's a Titan magazine. That means it'll be rubbish and I won't have to buy it.

    I've just got my handcuffs and my truncheon and that's enough.

    1940's original or time agent from the future, I'm not especially fussy.

    I'll buy the issue that has the free Daniela Denby-Ashe poster.

    Here's the first cover coming in Jan 2008:

    It's very DWM.

    Rather than very something else.

    Barrowman's botox 'n' wig combo destroys everything these days!

    The cover's changed...



    Looks even more like a wig there...

    Looks even gayerererer than before. I'll need to hide it inside my copy of Bella when I buy it in WH Smith next week.

    We bought this today. Only flicked through so far but I say again: it's very DWM but lacking in the detail and rather flimsy overall. Looking at the many adverts within there now appears to be an official magazine for every sci-fi/fantasy related programme on TV.

    The comic strip (in which the Torchwood team find and interrogate TV comedian Bill Bailey) doesn't quite work.

    A comic strip, in a Torchwood magazine? That doesn't sound right at all.

    Love the new avatar, by the way, Si!

    I bought it but did anyone else think that the comic strip missed two pages at one part?

    One moment you had Gwen, Tosh and Jack looking at a computer, turn the page and they were in a burning building!!!

    It's pretty rubbish really. Like Simon said, it's a cheap rate knock off of DWM but without any of the detail that makes DWM worthwhile. I can't say I was particularly impressed and I don't think I'm going to be a regular reader.

    I like the fact it's reassuringly as expensive as DWM but with half the pages and about a quarter of the content.

    Hmm - the Star Trek fans have had to put up with tat like this for decades, so it's no good complaining. But Torchwood Magazine is glossy, official and about as interesting as a small Radio Times feature.
