Apex Magazine bids farewell to editor Lynne M. Thomas with Issue 55 —

This is a bit of a bittersweet release for us. This issue marks the last one for our editor-in-chief Lynne M. Thomas. Lynne joined us 26 issues ago, and her run as chief has been nothing short of amazing. We will miss Lynne, and wish her the best of luck in all her future endeavors!

The new issue can be read for free here or bought as a formatted eBook edition here.
