New York Comic Con starts today! Unfortunately Ninja Pizza is not there, so I'll be watching from online to see if any breaking TMNT news happens. However, for the people who are there, there are a few TMNT sights to see.
This is the best compilation of TMNT-related people and events happening at the Con. However, I'm not an expert on this Con so there may be something that I've missed. If you know of something that should be added, please add a comment!
And if anyone is going and snags some extra TMNT swag,
e-mail me and I'll trade you for some TMNT swag from San Diego Comic-Con. :D
