(Newser) – From US Weekly to a quarterly for Godzilla enthusiasts, the Chicago Tribune's list of 50 favorite magazines both entertain and take readers to new places. The list includes:

  • Seed: Science never looked so glossy or sounded so thought-provoking

  • The Believer: The art of writing, as hip and snarky as it wants to be
  • Goldberg : Going for baroque (music) in every issue
  • Backstreets : A must for Springsteen fanatics
  • G-Fan: A quarterly dedicated to Godzilla
