As far as I know, there are no magazines on graphics novels alone, however there are comic magazines (Wizard in US, Previews the monthly buying catalogue for all shops and fans, Comics Foundry, Comics International in the UK etc). I'm going to make a sweeping statement but my guess is all of these have far fewer subscribers than a few years ago as the power of the Internet and comics news website has taken over. Stalwarts like CBR and Newsarama are the first port of call for many comic fans for reviews of comics, trades and new graphic novels.

It's a magazine that specifally caters for reviews on comics, TV shows, toys etc..I think it's more about comics than graphic novels per se.

My local SFF shop stocks it although it's not one I personally buy.

I think the question was - are there any magazines specifically on graphic novels as opposed to comics? Or that is how I read it.

No, I don't read Wizard, because in my opinion it became a very safe read, totally skewed, non-challenging read, and I get all my news from online comic websites that come out a lot more frequently and are a lot less bias.
