Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great comics!
If you know HM already, you know that it's not like other comic magazines. It has no fixed characters, artists, or story lines. Instead, each issue is a collection of illustrated stories, portfolios, and reviews of varied material.

That said, some artists (Suydam, Corbin, and lots of others) have been regulars here for decades. And yes, some stories do last from issue to issue. And yes, HM does have a consistent look to it: adventure/fantasy/SF, with a post-PG13 emphasis on fully inflated female figures. It's ideal for 14-year-old boys with inflamed if uninformed imaginations. It's not "adult" by any means, but advertises lots of videos, books, and magazines that are.

If you're serious about comics, you must pay attention to HM. I'm not saying you have to pay attention very often or even like it - my own feelings are mixed. Still, the artwork is consistently good and you're likely to see the artists again elsewhere.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Heavy Metal
* I have been subscribing to this Magazine for a while, ever since my Friend showed me it. I enjoy fantasy art and comics. This Magazine has both. I do say though this magazine is for Adults eye's only. It has lots of Adult content. Well if you're looking for a Magazine that is described above, this is a keeper. ...



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fabulous Fantasy Art and Great Storylines
I am a longtime Heavy Metal fan, and I have every issue back to the first in 1977, though I did not begin reading the magazine until the mid-eighties. (I would have been too young earlier and would not have been allowed to read it since it is for adults.) The magazine features science fiction and fantasy graphic art and storytelling, several stories per issue. Over the years, I have fallen in love with the works of Frazetta, Manara, Royo, Moebius, Serpieri, and many others. As a fantasy writer myself, though not an artist, the work featured in Heavy Metal has been a constant source of inspiration and pleasure for me. If not for this magazine, I would never have been able to experience the creativity and talents of these great artist storytellers. Even now, it is difficult to find sources with this much variety and quality, especially since I don't have endless hours to surf the web looking for fantasy art and stories.

One of the most fascinating things about Heavy Metal is the artists' portrayal of women: Of course it goes without saying that most of the female characters of the stories are strong, independent, warrior types who wear very little clothing; but what is especially nice is the fact that most of them are not drawn as unrealistic, ultra-thin women like those featured in many magazines, television shows, and movies. Although clearly fantasy, the powerful women of Heavy Metal have the ability to make real women feel less self-conscious about their muscles and curves. If it weren't for the sexual content of the stories, I would say that these fantasy women would be good role models for girls because they would not contribute to problems such as poor self-image and anorexia. Rather, these fantasy women would inspire weightlifting, sword fighting, wrestling, and other athletics.

I don't believe the covers of Heavy Metal actually do justice to what is inside the magazines. The covers generally feature a pin-up pose of a female fantasy character, which does not give the reader much of an idea as to the quality of work these artists truly produce. The stories inside are original, exciting, meaningful, interesting, and sometimes even funny and quirky. The editors strive for both quality and variety, and the work is obviously carefully selected. I have never been disappointed with my subscription. (To the editors: "Nice job, and keep up the good work.") Each Heavy Metal issue includes work by true masters/legends of fantasy art, along with emerging talent.

Since the publisher only briefly mentions in their comment that this is an adult magazine, I would like to stress that the sexual content (stories, art, and advertising) makes this magazine inappropriate for younger readers.

The Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Best Director Robert Zemeckis, and Best Actor Tom Hanks, this unlikely story of a slow-witted but good-hearted man somehow at the center of the pivotal events of the 20th century is a funny and heartwarming epic. Hanks plays the title character, a shy Southern boy in love with his childhood best friend (Robin Wright) who finds that his ability to run fast takes him places. As an All-Star football player he meets John F. Kennedy; as a soldier in Vietnam he's a war hero; and as a world champion Ping-Pong player he's hailed by Richard Nixon. Becoming a successful shrimp-boat captain, he still yearns for the love of his life, who takes a quite different and much sadder path in life. The visual effects incorporating Hanks into existing newsreel footage is both funny and impressive, but the heart of the film lies in its sweet love story and in the triumphant performance of Hanks as an unassuming soul who savors the most from his life and times. --Robert Lane

Gina Prince-Bythewood, a former college athlete, puts a spin on this one-on-one tale of Love and Basketball. Sanaa Lathan (The Best Man) is the fiercely driven, hot-tempered Monica, a tomboy who gives her all for basketball. Omar Epps (The Mod Squad) is Quincy, an NBA player's son who has pro dreams of his own. Next-door neighbors since first grade, they start as rivals (she flabbergasts the boy by outplaying him in a game of driveway pickup) and age into best friends and lovers. The romantic complications follow a familiar game plan, but the film throws a fascinating spotlight onto the contrast between men's and women's basketball. While Quincy plays college ball on huge courts to cheering, sold-out crowds, we see Monica's sweat, tears, and sheer physical dedication in front of tiny audiences in small gyms and second-rate auditoriums.

The story is pointedly set in the late 1980s, years before the establishment of the WNBA, so Monica's prospects for pro ball lie exclusively in Europe, while Quincy steps into the pros at home. It's a pleasure to see a character as passionate and fully developed as Monica, and Lathan gives a fiery portrayal (she had never played ball before the film, but you'd never tell from her performance). Prince-Bythewood favors her struggle over Quincy's and opens our eyes to her unique challenges with a sharp, savvy contrast. Alfre Woodard costars as Monica's harping mom (always trying to get her to be more ladylike) and Dennis Haysbert is Quincy's philandering father. Hoops fan Spike Lee produced. --Sean Axmaker

Now you can just drop your pedometer in your purse to find out how much exercise you get in a typical day of work, errands, and other tasks. Of course, you can also attach it to your belt like a traditional pedometer.

The HJ-112 accurately measures your steps, as well as aerobic steps and minutes. You can also use it to measure calorie consumption during your workout, as well as the distance you've traveled.

The device's large, easy-to-read LCD display can separately display aerobic steps and minutes walked more than 10 minutes continuously, so you always have the information you need right in front of you. Meanwhile, a seven day history lets you review a full week of exercise. The device also resets at midnight automatically so it's ready to go every morning. Of course, the device can also function as a handy and highly accurate clock. It also comes with a detachable belt holder and security strap so it's always close at hand.

The HJ-112 is powered by a replaceable lithium battery (CR2032) that will last six months when used for walking 10,000 steps a day. The device measures approximately 2.8 x 2.1 x .6 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 1.1 ounces (not including battery).
