Broadswords and Blasters No. 12

The pulp magazine with modern sensibilities is going out big. Issue 12 is both twice as thick as previous issues, but it’s also the last issue for the indefinite future. Co-editors Matthew Gomez and Cameron Mount summed it up: “We’ve had a good run, but both of us want to work on different projects, and well, we’d like to think we are ending on a high note.”
