Empire Australia 007 special with UK subscriber cover

Saw this on the newstand today:
http://www.empireonline.com.au/news/articles/2012/9/new-uk-skyfall-poster-hits-the-web/

Not 1 but 6 covers enclosed. The article is word for word from the UK June edition with some photos from the trailer

QBranch

Bought it today. Also features articles on each Bond actors debut film.

I don't know how fresh those interviews are but those feature articles on the films are exactly the same (down to layout and pictures) as the UK June edition which I had imported. The Skyfall bit has new photos, and those "viewa" things are new too. I only have the general UK feature so this Aussie cover is heaps better

QBranch

Funnily, I haven't bought a magazine for ages, but today I decided to go into the newsagent and have a look. There were only two left- one was a bit damaged on the cover. The first of anything I've bought regarding Skyfall, I believe.

I'd love to see pictures of all the covers, if possible. Each one has a different colour looking at the bottom right hand corner.

QBranch

Here you go, Sam. It's the fold-out cover side by side. Forgive the photo quality on my phone.

That's the same picture from months ago in the UK and better than the severely airbrushed version on the front of the current issue here.

Those covers are amazing! Thanks for sharing @QBranch.

QBranch

No problem :)

Wow, where can I pick this up in the States? I bought the Entertainment Weekly issue with all of the Bond actors debut covers, and would love to own this, as well.

MrBond

I wonder if i can get this in Sweden.

Thanks so much @QBranch. They look great. The game advert is funny too. "Six classic" films. So classic, one isn't even in the game and another is Die Another Day!

Cinema's greatest hero? Hardly. Too many to count that.

Are these covers with respect film covers all available at specific locations for the 50th anniversary?

No, it's all in the same magazine, the front cover folds out to reveal the 6 covers, 3 on each side

Why is it all the Bond covers each have each Bond with their respective first movies except for Craig?

QBranch

Each of the covers have an accompanying article focusing on the (then) new direction with the new Bond. They couldn't have an article on both CR and SF, especially considering the current focus is on the latter.

doubleoego

Makes sense.

Is it just me or does it wind you up when a magazine or other media publication shows an old Bond title, but uses the wrong photo from the film? I can just forgive the FRWL photo representing Dr. No, but I hate the fact that a DAD picture has been used for GoldenEye, just because Brosnan looks so different in both those films. I'm just really picky about these things! :|
