The 5 reasons you should subscribe to SFX
You won't regret it
It's the final week of our January sale, which means you can save loads if you subscribe to SFX before February rears its ugly head. There are huge discounts on the mag whether you want to read in print, digital or our amazing value print and digital bundle packages. Here are five reasons why you really ought to subscribe.
5. SFX is number one for sci-fi and fantasy
Since 1995, SFX has been the world's number one science fiction and fantasy magazine, celebrating sci-fi and fantasy in all their forms whether it's in movies, TV, books, comics, games, events or beyond. It's written by people who know their sci-fi onions and love the genre as much as you do, and exploring the geeky places other mags don't reach is part of our DNA. We want to know why Superman doesn't where his undies outside his tights any more. We really docarethat the TIE of TIE Fighter stands for Twin Ion Engine.
4. You can save loads on the cover price
Packed with news, features and reviews, SFX is so full of exclusive interviews, expert opinion and love for the genre that it's already amazing value in the shops. But if you take advantage of our January sale prices, you could save an extra 55% on the cover price and that makes sense in any language, whether it's Klingon, High Valyrian or boring old English.
3. Amazing subscriber-only covers
As a special perk for subscribers, you get exclusive subscriber-only covers liberated from all the words you get on the newsstand versions, they look stunning. And if you find you start missing the coverlines, there's nothing to stop you adding your own with a marker pen.

And because we'll put it straight through your letterbox, there's no need to set foot outside the house great news if you're in The Walking Dead(read more in our next issue, on sale 3 February), andunder siege from a zombie invasion.
