Paying for a magazine that is completely in color is a daunting task, and this may explain why there are so many advertisements strewn throughout this issue. Even more so, it seem as if Wonkavision has made the deal sweeter for a number of these record labels by giving them a feature piece in the magazine. The main piece for this issue has to be a feature on those individuals…

Wonkavision is always a magazine that is well worth the $2.95 cover price of an issue. This issue has a lot of contentious material in it, especially in the top 5 albums of the year feature.

This is the same case with another album that featured prominently, Against Me’s latest album. Therea…

The price is right, but with each subsequent issue of Wonkavision I feel that the adverts are grapping more and more of the attention away from the pieces in the zine. When they are laid out in a more interesting way than the major pieces this issue, individuals cannot do anything but be distracted to the full-page ad for Coheed or The Suicide Machine’s half-page profiteering. The neareast the actual…
