Wizard Sucks
Wizard sucks because the magazine/website is more about marketing and publicity than news or in-depth coverage. If you want proof of this, then read this headline: “TURNER VARIANT REVEALED FOR 'ONSLAUGHT REBORN' #1! Variant cover for hotly anticipated Marvel series makes its debut!”
Onslaught was partially responsible for driving away tons and tons of readers in the 90's, yet Wizard claims it’s come-back is “hotly anticipated.” I’m sorry but that’s a straight up marketing spin, not a news headline.
And for you OCD fanboys that care about variants, here is the cover:

As far as I can tell, the comics industry is trying to set itself up for another implosion. Gen 13, Wildcats, Onslaught... plus many variant covers - last week I think we got 4 variant covers in, and there's another 3 this week. Used to be these were something special, now they're common place. Someone even told me on Monday (a comic book artist who stoped in to promote a book he's working on) that there's talk of making cromium covers again! And, they'll be $8!!! If that happens I might just become a regular book store and dump comics.
