Ok, let me say this first, ..a very entertaining, useful, well prepared online-magazine-post, but a big no-no is the part on the StarWars miniatures, ..your taking away from the players sole focus on Wizkids and its products. I mean dont' get me wrong, the StarWars card game post is fine, because itsa Wizkids product, but to review a non-Wizkids product, is not right. Im' not sayn anyone who plays heroclix cant' play any other games, but a message board dedicated to Heroclix is not the place to post reviews on competitive products and should be omited in the future.

Thank you for your opinion, but it is not going to happen. Critical hit is posted on 5 different boards and we are expanding our readership. Truth be told if you check another realms you will find a few different reviews on these games out there. The goal is not to be a Heroclix ONLY gaming magazine, but a PRIMARILY HEROCLIX gaming with other miniatures. We always appreciate the feedback though.

I respect your opinions, but your criticism is a month late. This is the second month that 'CritHit' has included material on other games like Star Wars (last month we had a well written article on Dream Blade for example). None of the inclusion of other materials takes away from the core principal of teh Mag, to be Dedicated to HeroClix.
My advice is to enjoy the stuff you do like and just turn/scroll past the stuff that doesn't interest you. But thanks for sharing your opinions on the Mag.
Well thanks for your response. Im just sayn with any fanzine that starts off focusing on one game Heroclix/Horrorclix, ( ..hence the name 'CriticalHit' ) & then expands onto other games or subjects .. loses the interest of the original readers. I recall back in the '90s' a fanzine called Protoculture Addicts that focused onth' anime series Robotech/Macross. Eventually they expanded to reviewing other animes' & readers lost interest, not all, but enough. So feel free to expand your magazine to include other games, Im' sure some will enjoy, but like me & many others who Ive talked to, we do just like you commented above, ..we gscroll past the non-wizkids items. Keep it up its still a good magazine-post but I guess if it ever slowly starts to have less Heroclix items then others, myself or others can always start up another web-magazine to post here.

There are critical hits in Star Wars, in fact other than the Clix games I can't name one in that magazine with Crit hits lol.
I understand your hesitation about non-WK games, but since copyrights and legal stuff isn't involved in this Magazine (for right now) people can write whatever the heck they want.

In some ways this is kind of insulting towards me as I don't think anyone realizes the time or effort I and the writers put into the magazine. If you want to start your own web-magazine I implore you to do so. Then people would realize the difficulty of doing the editing and formating that happens with the magazine.
Granted we won't get away from heroclix or horrorclix primarily because they are the games I play. Still I am not short sited enough not to realize there are other miniatures games out there. What you will find is we are becoming a MINIATURES magazine (with Heroclix focus)
Though again I implore please walk in my shoes for a month. Ask thele, this job is not an easy one and takes more time and effort than anyone could believe.
I would love to say I am the first for the magazine though I can not say I am. There has been a call for one for over 4 years now (until I came out with mine a year ago). Here is a listing of the most pertinent ones ranking to 2003.

Seriously. I did three issues of my "Planetary Bugler" clix zine all by my lonesome and it was hard work! I kinda overloaded myself (and the graphics) by including custom dials and dialtops...but its neat to look back and see my Krypto dial, and my takes on 'improved' X-men for X-factor.
(If there is any interest in archiving these old tomes, let me know...I originally distributed them through CreationMatrix, but I think they went defunct 3 years ago!)
Hands down! I never thought I would find a treasure such as Critical Hit in the internet.
From now on I'll be a regular!
:knockedou
I'll be lookin' forward to every issue!
Again a great job to everyone! I hope this lasts forever!
