I haven't read Clubbed (nice covers), but visually the fanzine tag for AA is accurate, though it is getting less so I feel. Obviously some of the artwork used was a bit "generic" in the earlier issues. I actually like the visual look of AA
very much- because it fits in with the niche aspect of the platform.

Amiga Format developed a good visual style in its late Jurassic Period, but
I don't think the editorial was as good (with the exception of Simon
Goodwin). My own hope for AA is that it has more "viewpoint" type stuff of the
type that Korny writes- this is it's strength for me, as it was CU's.

Also- maybe some more big interviews- Holger Kruse, Paul Nolan, Sassenthrath (sic) etc, and how about asking John Shepard if he could write mini-rumour mills for each issue?

All the best,
