May arrived with the warm tones of an impending hot summer for us here in the steamy south, but newsstands all across the country were also blazing hot with an abundance of new magazine titles. Some brand new, some arriving on the national newsstands for the first time, some are changing their names, and some are just testing the waters…
As Gossamer strands of pungent smoke swirl above the heads of the many marijuana users in the country, they now have a new magazine that is made by and for those who enjoy living the “high” life. It’s another offering into the print world of cannabis, and Mr. Magazine™ must say, it is definitely a well-done publication.
Also on tap for May is a new title that honors women, past, present and future, who have made or are making a mark politically on our world. Rosa is named after the amazing Rosa Parks and brings awareness to our foremothers and to all women who are willing to fight for their beliefs. This is a must-have quarterly magazine that Mr. Magazine™ will definitely be watching for at the newsstand.
And when you’re chasing the sweet things in life, there’s nobody better to do it with than Sweet Paul. For the first time, the print-on-demand magazine made its way to the newsstands, and Mr. Magazine™ says it’s long overdue. Founder & editor in chief, Paul Lowe, Sweet Paul himself, said he has adopted his grandmother’s motto of “perfection is boring,” and you can rest assured that’s one thing that Sweet Paul magazine is not, boring, that is. However, the fantastic recipes inside come pretty close to perfection as far as Mr. Magazine™ can tell.
So, I hope that you enjoy our magnificent May covers. The magazines mentioned above are but three out of the 25 that the month gave us. The other 22 titles are just as grand.
So, until we meet again for a jubilant June…
See you at the newsstands…
******And please remember, if Mr. Magazine™ can’t physically hold, touch and purchase the magazine, it does not enter the monthly counts. And counts now include only the titles with a regular frequency that are either new, first-seen on Mr. Magazine’s™ newsstands, or arriving to the national newsstands for the first time.
****** Three magazines I read that they were launched last month but with all my newsstands searches I have not yielded or located a copy of their premier issue yet. The magazines are: Robb Report Muse, Tonal, and WSJ Far & Away. Please send me a copy of the premier issue to: Samir “Mr. Magazine™” Husni, P.O. Box 1062, Oxford, MS 38655 to be included in the Mr. Magazine™ Launch Monitor… Thank you.
