Raider Vol.16 Issue 11

As you can most probably tell from the title, I've been reading waaaay too many Batman comics over the Christmas period... Heck who doesn't want to read about the Caped Crusader running around beating up various bad guys like the Joker and Penguin! But now you're most probably sitting here thinking what does any of this have to do with the magazine?
Well, here comes the overstretched, vague and most probably not topical reason as to why I've tried to fit my overindulgence of Batman into the foreword... Over the past few months I've been working hard with the MD to re-launch Raider as a new entity, and with the great power of being Editor; comes the great responsibility of getting such a re-launch right. Going back to last month, I spoke a lot about the close down of operations in Afghanistan, the inability to gain access to much in regards of 'Direct Action' pieces and the chances of coming across interesting pieces that people want to actually read about becoming increasingly hard to come by. So with all of this in mind we sat down at Raider HQ and started thinking of ways we can keep the current theme of the magazine in place but also allow us to widen our horizons and bring in a whole new aspect to the magazine not seen before!
