"In" Power! Magazine

[iberryboi]

"In" Power! Magazine is a pop culture variety magazine created by Wizard Entertainment that was published in the early 2000's. There is no documentation for this magazine that i can find on the web and it is currently unknown when the first issue came out, and when the magazine stopped being published. I was wondering if we can get this magazine added to the database?

Absolutely.  All we need to get that database going is to know when the first issue came out, and when the magazine stopped being published.

 

Do you have reason to believe there was more than just that one issue?  Wizard published dozens of one-off specials back then.

A quick search brings up a few issues (at least 12 from my count) but the problem is not every cover lists a date or issue number. It doesn't look like the magazine was always monthly either, so you can't exactly pick one date and extrapolate from there.

Many of them had 2 of 2 covers for each month. I know that issue #4 was in August 2000, so im assuming the first issue is May 2000 which is this Pichu cover. Also, issue #4 was marked as August's issue, yet issue #5 was July's lol.

oh wait, that squirtle one says April though so maybe thats the first one. Im not quite sure im trying to hunt all of them down.

Wow, that magazine's target audience skewed quite young, it seems.  Anybody wanting to put together a database needs to start keeping records of whatever info they can pin down.  Owning the issues makes it a lot easier, but watching the auction sites is the next best thing.  We can't throw together a database with nothing but a bunch of covers without issue numbers or dates, though, so it will take someone doing detective work (or buying all the issues) to put together the info needed to create the DB.  That someone could be YOU!

Yea I actually had a subscription to it as a kid. I'm currently buying them off of eBay, a lot of them on there are actually still sealed in the polybag lol.
