Some sad news today, both titles published by Black Fish, Deathray and Filmstar, have ceased to be. It's a sad scenario where in the credit crunch good quality magazines struggle to survive (bet you a hundred dollars US that Heat never gets the heave-ho). It's a similar scenario to good quality TV shows that just never get the attention they deserve (c.f. Firefly, The Sarah Connor Chronicles) while dross like Andromeda go on forever seemingly.
Both Deathray and Filmstar tried to be a little bit different. Filmstar in particular filled in the void left by the demise of Neon and Hotdog. Matt Bielby, Guy Haley and all at Black Fish, I salute you, sirs. You'll be missed.
