I find it strange that Shift is marketed in that article as not being reprint material, when from what I can see that's exactly what it is. Soulwind for one, though I love it, was originally published by Image in 1997. Unless I'm reading it wrong and they mean ComicScene will have new content. Shift can be ordered here from Get My Comics |

So this is Comic Scene under a new name with more strip content?

No, I think they've partnered up with the folks of Get My Comics and are folding Comic Scene into this new venture.

I was surprised to see the first issue in WH Smith yesterday. The paper quality and range of stories is impressive, though the high price would be a deal breaker for me.

Looked for this yesterday but no sign of it. Who is the publisher? And what price is it?

Picked it up from WH Smith yesterday - feels very much like a less lads, lads, lads version of Mark Miller's Clint effort from a few years back.
Hope it gets enough time to find it's feet.

It has the misfortune of launching during lockdown though.

True, but if you happen to be in say a Smiths, there's no Panini Marvel reprint titles vying for your money. That might be it's saving grace.

I may well have picked it up in Smiths yesterday, but didn't see it.

They had a few next to 2000AD and The Megazine. None of them were in the comics section but where the bookazines and stamp collections usuqlly are.

Was excited to find this in Smiths this morning before realising it was issue two. I'd have bought it if they'd had the first issue as it looks quite cool but that one I never saw in there. Reminded me of Strip.

It must have just changed over. #1 was in my local Smiths a few days ago. I had a look but figured I'm already months behind in 2000AD and a couple other magazines I get so left it there.

I don't think mine had #1. I was in there last week and a fortnight before that and have been sporadically for the last few months. Unless they only had a couple and they sold straight away. The comic/sci-fi shelves are pretty depleted. They still have last year's Starblazer book on them!

I don't have easy access to a Smiths so I never saw Shift and completely forgot about it.

I picked up the Yearbook and was pleasantly surprised so ordered some back issues. Some decent stuff in there and you can't go wrong with seeing Geoff Senior art oversized. The killer app is the pull-out newspaper-strip style insert.
Much better than the same outfits Comic Scene mag.

Was a bit annoyed when the title's best strip (Tiny Acts of Violence) is dropped with a 'buy the book to see what happens next!' ad. Grrrrr.
The editorial vaguely alludes to it coming back but a year later...

And still no sign of it so dropped the title. Another strip started (Footsoldiers) and also vanished part-through. Annoying.
Will pick up the trade of Tiny Acts Of Violence instead.
