The fact that it is beautifully displayed, with some breathtaking artwork — particularly Ben Baldwin’s cover art, and Warwick Fraser-Coombe’s illustration for “Mirrorblink” — is just an added bonus." matthewsdent.wordpress.com/2012/11/24/interzone-243-novdec-2012-a-review/

In this issue Interzone's movie reviewer, Nick Lowe, reflects on Conan 2011. "Seventy-five years ago this summer, a thirty-year-old Texan pulp writer wound up the windows and took a borrowed Colt .380 from the glovebox because he didn’t want to outlive his mother. This is still regarded as quite a weird tale, and in 1996 they made an entire movie about it, The Whole Wide World with Vincent d’Onofrio as Robert E. Howard and Renée Zellwegger as Novalyne Price. It’s no wonder that Hollywood is particularly creeped-out by the idea that one of America’s key narratologists of manhood might love his mom to death, engaged as it is in its own genocidal war against maternity. Call it the Nemo test: how many of this summer’s films killed off the hero’s mother? Win one clownfish for dispatching her casually in backstory, two for an actual flashback, three for executing her in the very first scene, and multiply them together if the film manages to kill the heroine’s mother as well. Better dress for a busy little bloodbath, because of the eleven films canvassed below, only four score zero on the Nemo scale; and two of those are about machines, while one is a Miyazaki number anyway and consequently pumped full of antibodies to Hollywood infection. In the Nemo stakes, if sadly not much else, the 2011 version of CONAN THE BARBARIAN crushes its enemies and hears the lamentations of their women.." Read the rest and much else for $4.99

This Sept - Oct 2012 issue of Interzone (#242) is the first in the new print format: slightly more compact but with 96 pages, spine, laminated cover. As this is the E book version those changes have no effect here except the word count is higher because there is more room overall. The issue contains hard SF by CW Johnson and recent Hugo winner Ken Liu. As this issue was out for Halloween there is ghost story to keep readers quivering from one of Debbie Urbanski, Lavie Tidhar, Priya Sharma, making her Interzone debut, or Karl Bunker but it could spoil it say which. The issue includes all the usual features: Ansible Link by David Langford (news and obits); Mutant Popcorn by Nick Lowe (film reviews); Laser Fodder by Tony Lee (DVD/Blu-ray reviews); book reviews by Jim Steel and the team, including an interview with David Brin. Nick Lowe's movie reviews begin with "Eyelid retractors comfortable? Well, no matter; unendurable searing pain is the brom-com buddy of truth. Eyes front, chin up, and feel free to bite down on the gag when you need to scream; we’re about to make you a man. Ten films from now, you’ll have had everything Hollywood knows about masculinity force-injected into your cortex direct through the optic nerve, and all without the use of a single needle.
