Skeptic magazine? I'd guess that it would be unwilling to publish anything very positive about cryonics, given Founder, Publisher, and Editor-in-Chief Michael Shermer's very public anti-cryonics stance.

Shermer's position may have shifted since he wrote Nano Nonsense and Cryonics: when I asked him about it he recommended I read David Brin, Steve Harris and Gregory Benford.

EDIT: see also his description of Steve Harris's reply to his article as "very well reasoned".
