Look, have you bought the damn magazine yet or what? You may ask about the coverage, the coverage of the coverage, and the analysis of the coverage of the coverage, but the story of Radar is really a profound modern tragedy. Maer Roshan is editing too close to the sun:

the saga of Radar is best read as either an elegy or a last huzzah for zeitgeist-defining gambles ... pass concept ... a magazine combining the business plans of those genres doesn't and cannot exist ... chances that Roshan and his original team still have anything left on the latter front are low ... a classic recipe for trench warfare

I'd say, Poetics-wise this is still the rising action. We oughtta have a climax, a tragic fall, and a denouement by the second issue or the ribbon-cutting at the new Jets stadium, whichever one actually happens. -AP
