For some reason we're getting it in at the game shop I work at now. The owner said he never ordered it but I'm happy with it. I'll subscribe here soon, $30 for 12 300 page books is a great deal. So far the only one I've read is Shaman King and I loved it.
Anyone know if you can order backissues?
You can order back issues from Viz at their online store:

I'm starting to take a liking to Shaman King myself, finally as well. This magazine is the best bang for buck in manga/comicdom right now.
Melf, Viz has had some severe problems until just a few weeks ago with subscriptions that were not done online or via phone. They seem to have rectified it though, so you should be getting your first issue (most likely issue 4) soon. I would suggest calling their 800 number (1-800-541-7919). A friend of mine had the same problem until a week ago, and he had to harrass them a bit by phone, but that did the trick.
Honestly the only magazine (since Gamefan anyway) that I'm excited to pick up each month. I love One Piece, the art style of Yuyu impresses me, and I love the writing style of the staff in their various mini-articles. Some decent game coverage too, Viewitful Joe, Zelda, Jojo PS2 etc. *-neo
Is the April issue out yet?
New issues come out on the first Tuesday of the month, technically. Some stores don't have stock until a few days after that though.
I'm curious - do they have the full page pics of young bikini-clad girls in the US version? If so, its pretty similar to the Japanese original... ^_^
