Yay, issue 4 came for me yesterday! About a third through it, and enjoying it.
My only gripe being that, and I know the summer/E3 was a super busy time for Retro's staff and threw them off a bit, but an July/August issue being received in October is a bit of a disappointment.
Mike, when will issue 5 (September/October) ship? I'm a bit concerned if this long delay for issue 4 will cause any kind of carryover to issues 5 and 6. You have a mere 3 weeks to push out issue 5 if you want to ship it on time within the issue's bi-monthly parameters.
I did notice that issue 4 does not write "July/August" in it anywhere. Whereas issue 1 says clearly Jan/Feb, issue 2 March/April and issue 3 May/June. Is Retro now going to be released whenever it can, or will it remain strict to its bi-monthly nature? I expect you will remain true to the bi-monthly nature and that this latest issue can be chalked up to summer time madness.
Will we receive two Retro issues (5 and 6) before the end of 2014? That's 2 issues for 3 months. Issue 5 would be September/October (it's already October 5th) and issue 6 would be November/December. I'm concerned whether these "deadlines" can be met as I just received issue 4 in the mail yesterday, and in general, I know the earliest anyone received issue 4 was mid-late September. I hope I'm not coming off as being "tough" or anything; these are merely questions I'm curious to know the answers to I plan to resubscribe for year number two of RETRO for sure, as I think the magazine continues to forge its own unique identity with each passing issue. Thanks for your time, Mike!
