For some reason I thought DIGBMX had gone monthly. But with the latest issue being the July/August issue it doesn't make sense that way. If this is a "double issue" it is justifyable with the mag being 148 pages thick. Making a quality magazine is tough. Everything needs to make it before deadline and when deadline nears, things usually are going wrong, get delayed and editors end up becoming a friend of an energy drink that will keep them awake long enough to get the job done. A "photo issue" is an easy solution for a break in deadline time but issue #65 of DIG is far from that. Not that there aren't great pics in it because
Adam and
Dolecki take care of that part. DIG's layout has always been good. It's easy to spot a mag with no style and bad design but we haven't been able to comment DIG on that. It's not stale by any means either. Good job.
But what's inside? More than you can finish in three shit sessions.
