"We've been very pleasantly surprised with the response," said Newtype USA Executive Editor Bruce Haring. "We expected demand to grow steadily through the distribution of the first few issues, as readers realized the quality of the content we were offering. Instead, we've been having to turn away retailers who want to order more, and we've got readers networking on-line to track down the last available copies of Issue One."

National retailers carrying the magazine include Suncoast, Sam Goody, Barnes & Noble, Borders, Media Play, Waldenbooks, Fry's, Tower Records and Gordon & Gotch Canada (Chapters/Coles Books). Independent bookstores, comic stores and specialty shops across North America are also carrying the magazine. Subscriptions are available through http://www.newtype-usa.com; single issues may also be purchased through the same site. Please note that due to subscription processing time, new subscriptions will not begin for four to six weeks.
