Just got the January 2009 MUM -- it looks great and I'm impressed by several of the new ideas that Michael is bringing to the publication. I remember how exciting it was when John Moehring took the helm and really propelled the magazine forward in so many ways. I have that same feeling now.
I've always known Michael was one of the creative greats among us. It looks like he may have a unique knack for exercising that creativity in a leadership role, too. I'm eager to see how his vision for MUM is realized.
Well done. And "WOW!"

Joe M. says it all. Mike and Lisa have handled the transition as only they could - masterfully. And the larger typefaces are a big plus for those of us of a certain age.

I've e-mailed Mike directly to congratulate him on the fine first issue, and to remind him that from now on everything he does will be dictated by goddam deadlines.

Re: Kudos to Michael Close - January 2009 MUM!
This is one of the best M-U-M issues I've read. I like that the focus seems to be more on effects. I am particularly pleased to see the bizarre magic column by the Scribe and look forward with anticipation to next month's issue.
