The publication would be revived in a small capacity in [[2002]], following the formation of a new fan club by Koch and a fan named Suzanne. A second run of ''Weezine'' began, labeled "volume 2," with the release of [[Weezine Issue 1 - Fall 2002|issue #1]] in the Fall of that year. While these issues were sanctioned by Koch, he also writes that they were considered to be "unofficial" by the band as a whole, as they had collectively decided to do away with an official band fan club at the time.<ref name=inbetween />
