The Official Stargate Magazine will cease publication with Issue #36 (September/October 2010), the editors announced in the latest issue. It will mark six years of the magazine, which launched in the fall of 2004.
Published by Titan Magazines, the magazine has long provided interviews, behind-the-scenes looks at production, news, games, and other special features to fans of Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe.
The final issue will include interview with Lou Diamond Phillips (“David Telford”), Robert Picardo (“Richard Woolsey”), director Peter DeLuise, producer John G. Lenic, SGU consultant John Scalzi, and military advisor Angeligue MacDonald. That’s on news stands at the end of August.
The magazine’s closure is likely due to the difficult economic climate, especially with continual competition from the Internet. (GateWorld partnered with Titan to provide the 6-page “Advanced Telemetry” section of the official magazine for its first several years.)
GateWorld attempted to reach the publishers for comment on the decision, but inquiries were not returned by press time.
Don’t miss the new Issue #35 out now! And revisit the magazine’s history with GateWorld’s exclusive (and still growing, soon to be complete) cover gallery.

Stargate Universe has a military advisor? I don't believe it for a second. Not with the way the military is portrayed on that show.
@JohnSN7 Whatever do you mean? How so? Be specific.
Shame but understandable. Guess the market is not as big anymore. I really liked the Magazine in its hay days - then you could find it everywhere (WS Smith) haven't seen it there for ages.
It's such an incredible shame. I really enjoy this magazine. I, for one, will miss it.
Just saw a copy the other day at a specialty store. Too bad because it was a good source of SG1/SGA news. Maybe if the direct to disc movies were in production there would be more interest. As Stargate slips and slides (or rather, shakes) these are the sort of enterprises we value that are going to go down with it.
Are they all still available through back order?
It is more likely that there is nothing worth writing about any more since the demise of Atlantis and the lack of movies that were promised.
I know I let my subscription lapse when SGA was cancelled.
I let my subscription expire when Atlantis was cancelled. SGA has always been my only interest within the franchise so, with the show ending, there was no reason for me to keep my subscription.
That makes sense, the same thing is happening to some newspapers.
