CLiNT - anyone getting it?
Has anyone got the first couple of issues of this?

http://clintmag.com/

Is it worth subscribing to?

Bought the first two issues, it's not bad. Second issue was an improvement over the first, especially the text articles. It does need to get over itself and not be ashamed to be a comic (ie the front cover).

I wouldn't subscribe to it as you don't know just what is going to be in the future issues as they will be catching up with their original american editions. It does need more original UK sourced comic material (although saying that Rex Royd is for me the low point of the issue) to become more than a larger format reprint ala Panini MWoM etc.

Still, as a UK comic it is to be encouraged. But don't buy it ahead of 2000AD, Megazine or even Commando. It does fill a gap that may be better filled by Strip Magazine that comes out next year.

I thought for it's first issue it should have had a reduced price to tempt readers.

As far as I am aware I don't think that has ever happened with a UK comic. US ones yes and UK magazines but not a comic.

The first issue has lots of the f word but bizarrely enoigh the final strip had the f word covered up!

I'll stick with 2000AD.

Rex Royd is awful, the rest is alright though.

Quite enjoying Nemesis actually.

A pity as I would have grabbed it for about a quid.

Been subscribing since it came out and getting a bit cheesed of with it constantly being late. Still waiting on the last issue which was supposed to come out on Dec 19th, they're saying it should be out for Feb14th! I'm paying for so many issues a year and am starting to feel a bit conned by them.

It's intentional. It's how they used to get swear words into comics back in the old day... CLINT and FLICK... classic...
