Wizard included a silly chart in issue 94 mocking the tendency of the big publishers to create EVENTS with no real substance. What kind of path will you follow in staging your imaginary comic book "epic"?

We can’t post video here, but since Wizard 94 was a “Shagadelic”, we just did a bonus video for our other social media accounts opening a pack of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me collectible card game cards from 1999. Take a look at the hilarity we found inside!

Wizard 94 looked back 15 years to the maxi-series Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars and the many company wide crossover events it inspired, for better or for worse. What is your favorite moment of this story created to sell action figures?

Wizard was excited about #StarWars Episode 1 trailers, the promise of a #SpiderMan movie and MONKEYS in 1999. But was disappointed in Marvel’s then recent handling of Hulk and Magneto.

Since we haven't yet been able to procure the dump truck full of money required to book Jim McLauchlin for an interview on the podcast, we'll have to settle for this 1999 profile on the Fonzie of the Wizard offices.

WIZARDS co-host, Adam has had the first 2 issues of the DC Comics The Shadow series in his collection for over 30 years. In the price guide to Wizard 94, these books were valued at a cool $32 combined. Too bad the movie didn't boost the profile of the character 🤑 #theshadow30
