Industry Dynamics
The return of Starlog continues a pattern of legacy science fiction print titles being revived for dedicated readerships after their original runs ended. The annual format, rather than the monthly schedule of its original run, reflects the smaller-scale print economics that niche genre publications now operate under.
Readers who want the first issue can pre-order it directly through the Starlog website ahead of the November 13 release. The print-only annual format means the edition will be available on a yearly schedule rather than as a monthly subscription.
The takeaway
Science fiction readers who followed Starlog's original run now have a chance to return to the magazine in print, with the first issue due November 13. Pre-ordering the issue ahead of release is the most direct way to secure a copy.
