GX

Finally, a magazine that pays more than lip service to our troops.  GX covers the Army National Guard like no other magazine has done before.  It honors the men and women who serve our country by focusing on their needs and desires throughout the pages of the magazine.  Unlike other magazines directed at the military, GX does not use sensuality to attract the Guard, but rather sensualizes their work and service to the country.  GX presents the Guard as it is – a part of the community in which on each page you may see a brother, sister, father or a friend in action.  The pages of the magazine will make you proud of the dedication of our men and women serving our country.  GX is a magazine that you can proudly call 'a true American magazine for a true American hero.'

Spirit Guide

For those fascinated with the world of the unknown, Spirit Guide is here to answer your questions. It’s like Reader’s Digest for the supernatural world. Spirit Guide runs the gamut on topics regarding the unexplained and undetermined, whether it’s matters of faith, spirits or the legitimacy of psychics.

Spirit Guide is not a religious publication, rather a magazine about the things we cannot explain. The publication is laden with features that tackle some of the greatest questions of our time. Are UFOs real? Do angles exist? The things we cannot explain can govern our thoughts and actions on a daily basis, as well as the editorial direction of this magazine. And to quote the magazine, “Getting Jesus, Elvis and a golden retriever on the same magazine cover is something of an accomplishment.”

P.S.: For those who don’t live in the Bible Belt, Spirit Guide offers the praying hands for the East Coast.

Uptown

Looking to discover the style, places and pleasures of New York’s most diverse cultural hotbed? Look no further than Uptown magazine, a guide to everything one can find in Harlem, New York. Described in the magazine’s pages as the crown jewel of Manhattan, Harlem has recently experienced a boom in real estate value, adding to a locale already rich in “deep roots and high style”.

A combination of simplified design and memorable photographs make Uptown an attractive package for the reader. The magazine goes beyond the obvious audience of Harlem locals to connect with readers from around the U.S., including articles on the “diverse culture, homes, fashion, entertainment, arts and illustrious history and future of Harlem.”

All In

In the midst of the American poker renaissance comes a new magazine devoted to helping the reader improve his or her game and “serve as a showcase for poker’s place in our culture.” All IN caters to an audience of card-dealing, stone-faced poker aficionados, providing expert advice from the stars of poker themselves.

After just two issues, All In claims to have established itself as the leading magazine in poker today. With input from the individuals who dominate the sport itself, All In is the definitive voice in this growing sport. The magazine also features player profiles, stories regarding trends in the sport and the latest major events.

Urban Climber

Urban Climber goes beyond the mountains to prove the sport of climbing has become more than just dangling from a rocky cliff. Nowadays, “being a climber means climbing where we live – the city.” According to its pages, “Bouldering, sport, indoor and competitive climbing are the core pursuits of the urban climber.”

The oftentimes wild design of Urban Climber’s pages seems to mimic the freestyle spirit of the sport itself. Combine this with the necessarily unorthodox photography of the sport and you have an interesting reading experience for any climbing enthusiast.

While it features numerous stories about city expeditions and competitions, Urban Climber doesn’t leave its readers ‘hanging’ without the proper gear. The magazine has product reviews and advice on the best and most affordable gear for the climbing enthusiast.

Glued: Stuck On TV

The television obsessed can now take comfort in the latest magazine devoted to the plethora of viewing options network and cable broadcasting have brought to our living rooms. Glued: Stuck On TV is a look at what’s happening in the world of TV.

Barring a mistake on the cover, the overall design of the magazine is both professional and easy to read, focusing less on lengthy stories and more on quick info-blurbs.

Glued divides its coverage of television into the four different weeks of each month, highlighting and rating the significant and important shows to tune into. Also available are reviews of the latest TV shows to hit DVD.

Vis-a-Vis

Through countless photographs and spreads, Vis-à-vis celebrates the diversity of American women and their various fashions. Culture shapes fashion, and never is it more apparent than in the multiculturalism of the world’s largest cities.

Vis-à-vis follows the pattern of many design magazines, with its creative and new approach to layout. The content goes beyond the obvious topics of fashion and style, with music reviews, book reviews, art commentaries and a global calendar of events. Also, cultural hot spots across the globe are highlighted and discussed in terms of their contributions to women’s fashion.

When it comes to fashion and trends, one shouldn’t forget food! Vis-à-vis even devotes some of its back pages to new and, yes, stylish recipes.

Suede

Imagination is one thing that might come in handy when reading Suede magazine. The new fashion publication offers a glimpse into the exciting and creative world of fashion, providing a mix of New York, Paris and urban style. However, one might have trouble affording the clothes and styles that fill up these creatively designed pages.

Suede shows that fashion is not influenced by Hollywood and the entertainment business, but rather urban America. The trends begin in the ghetto and extend into pop culture through superstars like Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson, Snoop Dogg and others.

Although you may not be able to afford clothing yourself in the newest fashions, Suede does make it easy for you to dream, selling the magazine on newsstands for a relatively low $3.50 cover price. The magazine also provides pullout rolodex cards for beauty salons available to the reader (or at least the ones who have $250 to spend on their hair). Aside from dreaming, what's in it for the average reader?
