Critical Response
On its debut, Black Gate received strong reviews in Locus and elsewhere, many citing the sheer size of the issues (usually 200+ pages) and the high production values. This has proved quite ambitious, though. Various production problems have led to publication less frequent than the intended quarterly schedule. Nevertheless, John O'Neill has made a public commitment to readers and advertisers to get production back on track and more frequent publication of the recent issues tend to support that claim.
In 2008, Judith Berman's story "Awakening" in Black Gate #10 was a finalist for the Nebula Award.
