Apex Magazine to return from hiatus

- Markets 1 Comment

According to Jason Sizemore on the Apex blog:

“We’re pulling Apex Magazine out of hiatus and plan on releasing a new issue on the first Monday of July (July 6th).

Why now? And why the magazine?

Read their plan, here. Welcome back Apex. Best of luck!
