No actually, it isn't. Out of everything that has come out so far, Billboard and Entertainment Weekly are not that great.

Most disappointing one for me is Q magazine. They rushed to get it out and it shows.

Time Magazine looks pretty interesting.

That's ridiculous. I bought my issue directly from Billboard Back Issues online and paid the retail price for it. In fact, I don't even believe there was a shipping charge. However, it wasn't that great. There's a lot better tribute magazines that have come out. PLEASE, don't pay that much money for it!!!

This one is pretty shoddy, they supposedly recap his entire career but in actuality they bizarrely skip over the Purple Rain era and barely touch the last 10-15 years. Certainly not worth purchasing as a tribute.

The Billboard website has had quite a few good articles about him over the past two weeks, were none of them in the issue itself?

You can find the PDF for this issue. Also Billboard sells a digital copy for $4.99 ipad and probably other tablets only. I think the pictures are probably clearer on the digital version as well.

It is a great issue, 34 pages. The Jamie Starr picture alone is worth it.

TIME magazine is the best one that I have seen, Newsweek I also got. The rolling Stone issue is too thin, possibly they will have a whole thing for Prince coming.

Time magazine is the best one I've seen so far too. I have only gotten Newsweek though.

The print run has completely sold out. Yes, you can buy the digital edition.

Special Prince Editions of Time, People, and Newsweek are all good. Time being the best one imo.

99.9% of everything I say is strictly for my own entertainment
