As for the main topic, publishers of magazines that are targeting teenage boys will do everything to follow their audience's desire, be it appeal to high school lesbians (who are becoming more numerous and are effectively boys for concerns publishers) or bi-curious boys for the same reason (though they are not as prevalent). Expecting a certain sub-genre that dominated an age group's publications a decade ago is just an exercise in futility. That age group is older now and by definition belongs to a different demographic with everything that this implies.
