I just got back from a much needed vacation to Chicago. For the third time since 2011 , I attended the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo. C2E2, as it’s called, has become one of my favorite comic events to attend.

The September release from the Masters of the Universe collection included two new figures and one re-release. We get two new figures in Leech and Hurricane Hordak, both part of the 2011 subscription.

I am ecstatic the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back in print. Kevin Eastman, one of the original creators of the turtles is back writing a new revitalized comic series for the ninja four.
