Razorcake #30

 
 

via NeuFutur Magazine by admin on 6/6/08
Razorcake #30 / $3 / 1:15 / 116M / http://www.razorcake.com / Razorcake has their thirtieth issue out this month, and boy do they come out with a strong step forward this issue. Of course, there are the average gang of idiots (Rev. Norb and Nardwuar) writing in this issue, but there are so many [...]

 
 

Ragged #1

 
 

via NeuFutur Magazine by admin on 6/10/08
Ragged #1 / Free / :15 / 32M / http://www.raggedmag.com /  This is a combination magazine that was created for American Rag (which seems to be a Macy's-only clothing brand). I've never heard of the clothing line, but then again, I'm never in a Macy's. Filter Mini seems to be what individuals can compare [...]

 
 

Quixotic Potential #3

 
 
 

via NeuFutur Magazine by admin on 6/9/08
Quixotic Potential #3 / $1 / 24 Pages / Half-Sized / Trade / cowspop7up@hotmail.com As Vera says on the first page of this zine, "this zine is run by, yes, you know it, SUBMISSIONS." This cannot be more true, as every piece in this issue is one this is not written by Vera. Even though [...]

 
 
 
 

Proud Disgrace Fanzine #2

 
 

via NeuFutur Magazine by admin on 6/5/08
Proud Disgrace Fanzine #2 / $2.50 / :25 / Blueboy Productions, 4 Fox Run #1, Marshfield, MA 02050 /  Waste of space. No, the writing isn't atrocious, but the spacing of this issue is. With fonts that Helen Keller would find annoying large, there is a lot of trees that were needlessly sent to the [...]

Profane Existence #49

 
 

via NeuFutur Magazine by admin on 6/3/08
Profane Existence #49 / $5 / 104M / http://www.profaneexistence.com /  It has been quite a few years since I was lucky enough to come across a copy of Profane Existence (the last issue I got to review was #38). In the meantime, the issue has moved from a newspaper to a more traditional magazine style [...]

 
 
 
 

Profane Existence #48

 
 

via NeuFutur Magazine by admin on 6/2/08
Profane Existence #48 / $5 / 104M / http://www.profaneexistence.com / Profane Existence brings forth another strong batch of interviews (this time, making sure a wide selection of global bands such as Migra Violenta and The Dagda are covered), but it is actually in their informational articles that the zine truly makes its worth known. Specifically, [...]

Ragged #4

 
 

via NeuFutur Magazine by admin on 5/29/08
Ragged is the mini-magazine that Filter puts out under the support of American Rag, a clothing line that only can be found at Macy's. Although, neither me nor the fiancé have ever found any American Rag clothing ever over at Macy's. This issue of the magazine skillfully blends established acts (Q-Tip, Thrice, Kate Nash) [...]

Postmarked Last Wednesday #2

via NeuFutur Magazine by admin on 5/28/08
Postmarked Last Wednesday #2 ($1, fadedlights@hotmail.com, available at Supernova distro) A perzine put out by two zinesters (Hollis and Sarah) that use the most common aspects of the genre (spacey poetry, stories of lost loves) to their advantages. The zine has a lot of white space, but each page [...]

Fake Life #7

 
 

via NeuFutur Magazine by admin on 5/25/08
Fake Life #7 / $2 / :45 / 32M / www.pxsdistro.com / gomek@comcast.net I had the chance to review Fake Life #6 a few months ago. I got this issue just a few days ago and dove right in. This issue seems a little more hit and miss than #6, starting out with Rob's "The Fool's [...]

.Recanted Kisses. Version 1

 
 

via NeuFutur Magazine by admin on 5/23/08
First off, this zine is one of the most personal I've ever read. It really seems as if I and Megan, the editor, have a lot in common. The raw emotion that is held in these small paragraphs interspersed in the magazine are shining beacons to the problems she (and tons of other lovelorn people) [...]

 
 
 

Pulp Bizarro #1

 
 

via NeuFutur Magazine by admin on 5/23/08
Pulp Bizarro #1 / #1 / :30 / 36M / http://www.pulpbizarro.com / It looks, from a cursory glance at Pulp Bizarro's web site, that there has been little updated since April of 2007. This is really sad, as Pulp Bizarro has some of the strongest stories and bits of prose that I've seen in [...]

The Bleep Subway Comic

The Bleep Subway Comic / $1.50 / :05 / 17M / 2004 Blaire Miltenberger / janes_freak@yahoo.com / Another grab from Slacker in Pittsburgh; for a $1.50 comic, there are a lot of features (spiral-bound, full color). Anyways, The Bleep Subway Comic is a computer-generated comic about Bleep, a round figure that looks similar to Glop and [...]

via NeuFutur Magazine by admin on 5/21/08
Jinxremoving #11 / $2 / 44M / http://www.jinxremoving.org / http://www.loopdistro.com / Jinxremoving is a comic zine, and Arpad (the author) is able to establish a very iconic, cat-human type of character as the focal point of this issue. I must admit, I am largely confused by this issue. While there is a note at the beginning [...]

The Burnt Library Volume 2, Issue #3

 
 
 

via NeuFutur Magazine by admin on 5/20/08
The Burnt Library Volume 2, Issue #3 (March/April, 2008) / Free / 4L / No Contact I picked this up at Slacker in Pittsburgh, and this seems to be a Pittsburgh version of a scene magazine, short and sweet, and kept up to date through the small amount of material that needs to be present here. [...]

 
 

Pink #3

 
 

via NeuFutur Magazine by admin on 5/19/08
I have no clue where I got this magazine, but this is by far the oddest magazine I've ever received. While the editors priorities seem to be in the right place, and she seems to be progressive in most issues, she has some serious issues with abortions, trying to make a case that using [...]
