Not to be sarcastic, but what means good? Are you looking for
PIC-based stuff, very general stuff, advanced stuff, beginner
stuff, x86-PC/104 stuff? VME/cPCI stuff? Computer Design
(http://www.computer-design.com, about to become "Computer
Design's Electronic Systems"), is, I believe, a good magazine,
but it stays pretty well clear of microcontrollers to focus on
stuff in the PC/104 through VME range, with lots of digressions
about support chips, peripherals and programmable logic. It is
also pricy outside of the states. EDN and Electronic Design are
decent general electronics magazines that spend quite a bit of
copy on embedded systems. I am also quite fond of two magazines
"Sensors" and "Test & Measurement World" that tend to cover the
topic mostly from the perspective of the kinds of peripherals
that tend to be found more often in embedded systems, or the
types of dedicated equipment that can be made with embedding
computers. I believe that all of these magazines are available
internationally.
I may have missed your point completely, but embedded systems is
a big topic.
