Courtesy info c/o the Official TMNT d0t com & Machias B.

.. What is new about this reprint is that I have retoned and relettered it, as part of a long-term effort to "remaster" all of the old issues of TMNT. There is also an essay by Ralph DiBernardo, who -- 21 years ago -- produced the Portsmouth Minicon at which Kevin and I premiered the first issue of the TMNT. .."

We got two updates this week.

We got some shocking things to go over, I gar-an-tee.

And of course, there is the aftermath.

Saw Sin City. Good? I thought so. Not a movie I'll pull out and watch every day on DVD, but I thought it was decent. It's dialouge seemed ripped from the comics, and cos of that, it didn't feel right all the time, and sometimes was laughable, but definately worth a look.
