Issue 46 of MyM, the official magazine of MCM Comic Con, is out now! Featuring an interview with Chloë Grace Moretz for The 5th Wave, a look ahead at the near-future virtual reality video games and an in-depth look at Oscar’s treatment of fantasy fare!

EDITOR’S LETTER
It seems an awful long time since we ran our ‘Music Special’ (it was Issue 38, back in May 2015!), but even then our big cover splash was for anime show Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water. So it’s an honour to finally have a musician grace our cover, in the form of Wing Works. Previously better known as the bassist from Lolita23q, Ryo:suke took the time to chat with MyM on his recent UK visit. We loved the android persona he takes on as solo visual kei act Wing Works and we hope you agree with us that his visage makes for a striking cover image.

Whether you agree or not, you’ll get your chance to tell us – and to have your say about every element of MyM magazine. Head to page 17 (or take our online survey) and tell us what you love about MyM, or where you think we could do better.

Do you love the film coverage we offer? There’s plenty more this issue, including an interview with Chloë Grace Moretz on sci-fi flick The 5th Wave (page 22), a rare chat with director Hsiao-Hsien Hou and an in-depth look at Oscar’s treatment of fantasy fare (page 19).

Are you mostly here for the games? Look ahead to the future with our virtual reality round-up (page 28) and preview/review section (starting on page 31).

If comics and manga are more your bag, we start with a look at the top 10 comic-book rivalries on page 62. Meanwhile, our massive anime review section (page 52) is bolstered by everything you ever wanted to know about Ultraman (page 48).

We also have TV covered, as Stan Lee talks Lucky Man (page 10), while Red Dwarf’s Robert Llewellyn picks his favourite media (page 78).

Can we tempt you with a subscription? If so, see the details below. Because you could say it’s a music special every issue here at MyM, as we sing loud and proud about the best entertainment each month, and we’d hate for you to miss that tune…
