Heavy Metal magazine 2025
I held back from purchasing issue 1 until I could see what Fred's Heavy Metal Fan Page blog had to say. Fred liked issue 1, so I've gone ahead and added the magazine to my Pulls; not a trivial thing, as each issue costs $15. The magazine currently is scheduled for quarterly publication and each issue certainly is fat, over 230 pages (with essentially no advertising).
I just picked up issue 2 and it seems to be adhering to the course of issue 1, which is good.
In issue 2 Forte provides an editorial in which he lays out his vision for the magazine. Although I have to roll my eyes at the use of the noun 'erotica' (let's face it, 'tits and ass' would be much much more accurate) I think Forte is heading in the right direction:
Those who want to get an idea of what's being published in Heavy Metal 2025 are directed to the post at Fred's blog. If you were disappointed with the much-ballyhooed Grant Morrison incarnation of the magazine, this newest edition of the franchise looks to be more promising, and I'm putting down my money for it.

It does look like they are going for the vibe of the early days when the magazine was good. I even recognized a few of the artists.
