The Magazine was a monthly digest entertainment magazine targeted for youth and published in Canada. In addition to music, movies, television, and contests, it featured a variety of articles on social issues such as the environment, healthy eating habits, and self-help in cooperation with Kids Help Phone.
On November 1, 2010, The Magazine celebrated its tenth anniversary as a monthly publication.
As of 2015, The Magazine had stopped publication and is now defunct due to low readership and subscription.
Comics
The Magazine has a long history of original comic strips which have come and gone over the years. Some of these include:
- Catchy-22: This comic was a satirical look at what would happen if a disgraced ex-popstar went after the corrupt and vampiric music industry at a time when they were bogged down in a war with people who download music.
- Doomsnight: A comic with strange places, strange people, and a new strange story every month.
- Sc ool: This comic strip was the brainchild of Brooks Gray, about the day-to-day antics of D and his school friends.
As of February 2010, The Magazine does not print any comics. Instead, comics are available for reading on the online magazine.
The Magazine Online
The Magazine's official website included many features for its readers, most notably the MagBoard and the Blog. The MagBoard was a message board where members can post about a variety of topics. Comics, games, and wallpapers were available of the website. The board's most popular topic, TPAM, reached its 1000th page on 24 February 2010.
