Latest Magazine Intake: Fantastic Man, ESPN, Die Zeit, GQ Italia, New Scientst

Yesterday, between an expensive trip to a local magazine store and the arrival of two subscription publications, I got six new periodicals.

Fantastic Man (a first-time purchase), ESPN (a rare purchase), Die Zeit (technically a newspaper, but it includes two magazines and is a weekly), GQ Italia (a first-time purchase -- it is the giant anniversary issue of that foreign edition, and no, I don't read Italian), and New Scientist and Chicago (both subscriptions).

It will be interesting to see if any of the new purchases become repeat buys for me.

Cover Art: Ewan McGregor on Fantastic Man

I'm not generally a fan of some of the new magazines that look like they were designed by design-school seniors (i.e., ignoring what the industry has learned well over the past century or two), but this cover of Fantastic Man caught my eye. Its simplicity works well.
