International News is a decent little news stand…read more It's located in a corner of the Kingsway Mall (next to the Second Cup) so it's pretty hard to find unless you're actively searching for it. I come here if I need a quick refreshment, some gum, or something to read when I'm waiting for my sisters to finish shopping at the mall. They have a good selection of newspapers and magazines. The great thing about it is that they have some foreign newspapers and magazines as well. So you might even find a newspaper from your home country if you're lucky! The foreign magazines are a tad expensive, but that makes sense since they have to import them.

This is another good magazine and news store tucked away in Kingsway Mall…read more I always feel as if I'm in an airport when I'm in here. Maybe because it's almost exactly like those magazine stores you see in the departure sections of airports. Nothing fancy about this store, just magazines, newspapers, and snacks. Stop by there if you need a refreshment while you're in the mall.

This newspaper deserves a lot more credit than it gets. I stumbled across The Metro by mistake. I…read morewas on the bus and the person sitting next to me left his paper behind. With print going into decline thanks to the Internet, the Metro is the only newspaper in Edmonton that I feel has merged the two mediums together. I think of it as a Digital-Print Magazine. They plug in highlights from their social media outlets (like Twitter feeds) into sidebars on the newspaper, which I find useful since I use Twitter very often. If you want to take the paper along with you without physically carrying the paper, you can use your smart phone to scan the QR Code (kind of like a barcode) that let's you access a particular section of the newspaper instantly from your cellphone. I think that's pretty neat. You can also download and view the day's newspaper from their website as well, if you like. I like the articles they write, too. They all seemed very relevant and I could relate to them very easily. Lots of good tech news as well.

Metro is another free "newspaper" here in Edmonton. And like Francesca said, I don't think anyone…read morewould actually pay for it anyways. The Metro is disappointing. The articles are nothing of real interest. I don't even really see the point of this newspaper. With papers like Vue Weekly and See Magazine, I don't understand how Metro survives. I have also seen the pages of Metro littering our streets and numerous public restaurants and coffee shops. But I've never seen anyone actually reading one of them. I think that people like the idea of the free paper but once they pick it up, they are grossly disappointed.

Avenue is a Lifestyle magazine that keeps people updated on local events and artists…read more They also have articles about fashion. It is a pretty trendy magazine and the things they offer are for trendy people. The magazine is free and is a good read. It is like most of the little papers and magazines in the city with a bit more focus on fashion and local entertainment.

It profiles local talents, local products, and local events. The only thing I don't like about Avenue is it tends to cater to people with large disposable incomes. The products that are advertised are usually high end products. I like reading Avenue to keep up on my city. They are free and you can check out the website to see where you can pick one up.

An independent news and entertainment magazine, Vue Weekly is one of Edmonton's few alternative…read morenews sources. You'll find issues ranging from politics and local events, to subjects like food and dining, education, and the local arts culture. The magazine takes more of a liberal stance, as its audience consists mainly of a 20-35 age demographic. The best part about Vue is their focus on the arts scene in Edmonton. Whatever is news in film, music, or performing arts, they have it covered. Find towards the back of the magazine their weekly lists of art galas, live music performances and concerts, movie and play listings, as well as plenty of reviews on new films and shows as well. There may be no funny comics section or half-naked Sunshine Girl/Boy to wake you up in the morning, but it's still a great alternative to the mainstream print media out there. Plus, it's free and you can usually find one of their magazine dispensers around town, especially around campus.

Vue Weekly is another good news paper that focuses majorly on the local art scene or new movies and…read moremusic. What I really like about the paper is the authors. They aren't afraid to have opinions when they right their articles and it doesn't feel as if they are censoring themselves. Some other papers just display the facts without giving any real opinion on what is going on, but Vue has a backbone. It gets risky when it needs too. I still think See is a bit better when it comes to talking about local events but Vue is a great read and not bad to browse through.

Nerds Galore! This place is filled with sci-fi collectables, from toys, board games, cards, comics…read moreand a few cosplay costumes. Next door is where you gather with random people and play card tournaments such as magic the gathering and etc. This place seems to have a decent price for their board games with plentiful of comics. Their models/action figures are quite pricey. Staff is friendly, parking is extremely cramped even around the building. Haven't checked if they have washrooms but the layout was quite sufficient. You may need to squeeze in-between people while browsing in-store due to the small space inside. But either than that, yup i'd buy board games here. Only problem is the location, exiting can be a hassle if your driving. Recommended for guys with spectacles, or just for browsing.

Hello True Believers,…read more Comic Fever in North Central Edmonton is an awesome little comic shop. My favorite attribute is the incentives! If you keep a file you get a discount, the more books you by, the more uyou save (up to 25% off cover price) also regular sales and promotions make each trip exciting beyond your new reads. I'm not into gaming but it is also quite a hotbed for gaming activity. With regularly scheduled campaigns played instore it can be a very interactive enviroment.

Audreys Books is so easy to find.... On Jasper Ave, just look for the maroon awning and inside you will be transported to a world of books. Anything and everything you could want to read - magazines; non-fiction; new releases; local authors - they have it all. And, if you're not sure what you want to read they will help you find it. I've been to Audreys for 2 local author book releases... I love the fact they support local authors. Encouraging them to host book signings and book releases at the store and encouraging patrons to purchase local books. I've also called the store asking about what to buy for a niece, unsure about her age group and they made a suggestion, put it at the front so all I needed to do was run in and make the purchase. They are amazing, friendly and accommodating.
