This is great news indeed!I haven't been able to buy an Otaku USA Magazine in years because the place where I use to buy them at stopped selling them for some reason now I can finally start buying them again!

Sweet, hopefully they'll be affordable enough that I can pick up an issue every now and then. I'm still missing the actual print run of Shonen Jump though, even if I'd considered dropping it for a while before it actually ended.

Umm...they've always been at Wal-Mart, just they were a bit behind in the children/health magazines. Made me mad to have to dig through all that just to find one copy.
But glad to see Wal-Mart is getting it together, I saw Shonen Jumps still there last week, Wal-Mart's poor little heart must have been broken when they heard the tragic news,

Not ALL walmarts, apparently, as none of the 5 I regularly go to have it. Only story I go to that does is a Barnes & Noble about 30 miles away. Hopefully this means my local walmart (which does have Shonen Jump, for now) will have it, so I can actually read it. Then again, I'll probably end up subscribing.

Hah, cool. Now I have another reason to go over to the book and magazine area at work during my lunch breaks. Just hopefully my store will be awesome and get them in.

I would like to read this magazine. Ever since Newtype USA ceased publication, I have been itching to read this magazine but I have had the time or the money. I hope it is good.

That's great! I've subscribed to them already and I can say it's a great mag. But I feel kinda disappointed. Another thing's slowly going mainstream...

I like it. Their reviews and articles seem honest and informative.

When Diamond stopped distributing Otaku USA to direct market comic shops I had to make do with the occasional remaindered copy at Book Sale or Just-In Magazines. Then I got my own credit card and subscribed, but unfortunately never received an issue due to postal pilferage (an unfortunate fact for direct import magazine subscriptions here, which ship in bulk then use local mail for the last mile). I got the free T-shirt, but that's it. At least with Maximum PC I got at least half the issues, not counting the extensions every time I reported a missing issue. Lesson learned: don't subscribe directly to foreign magazines. Too bad the subs from Emerald-Headway are massively overpriced, and they don't carry Otaku USA anyway.
At least I have the option of buying the digital edition now.
