From Metropolitan Home to Newsweek, we've seen a number of shuttered magazine titles revived (at least in some form) over the past couple of years.

Best Life made its original debut back in 2004, a higher-end extension of Rodale's Men's Health, which was led by the company's star editor Dave Zinczenko. In 2009, however, the magazine stopped regular publication in the wake of the previous year's financial crisis, and in 2012, Zinczenko left Rodale. But Zinczenko went on to launch his own company, Galvanized, and has spent the past several years overseeing a relaunch of AMI's Men's Fitness and rebuilding his popular Eat This, Not That franchise (which he had acquired from Rodale), felt that there was still an audience for Best Life. "I was always talking it up and lamenting with others when it went on hiatus," he recalled. "It was built to serve a giant void that existed in the men's market, and now, more than a decade later, that void is even more evident." After hearing that another company had purchased the dormant Best Life brand from Rodale, Zinczenko reached out to the new owners and voiced his interest in helping to revive it. Eventually, he ended up acquiring the title, and built an editorial team to relaunch it as a digital brand, BestLifeOnline.com. Of course, men's lifestyle sites are a dime a dozen, but according...
