Tom:
What do you read?
What do you like about them?
What's in a typical issue?

JD:
Game Informer, Pop Sci, and a bunch of political magazines

I'm a nerd, shut up.

KvP:
I like the Economist. It tends to be center-right in its editorial stance but the analysis is pretty excellent. I'll likely get an online subscription once I become a Poli Sci major for reals.

Blue Kitty:
EGM and Shonen Jump.  I am thinking about getting rid of EGM because I usually just check their reviews on their site, as well as watching their 1 Up show, but then again it may be dying all by itself.

Me too.  The fact that it's the only news magazine in significant circulation that covers events on every continent in every issue is an enormous plus--you just don't get that kind of global perspective from American newsmagazines (though Fareed Zakaria makes Newsweek worth reading, from time to time).  Also, center-right doesn't quite capture the Economist's politics--market pragmatism, perhaps--their views on Global Warming and what to do about it, for instance, are left of center by American standards (yes, I know this is because scientifically speaking large portions of the American right still live in caves, for ideological reasons).

The New Yorker and the Atlantic Monthly are both quite good.
