All artists are invited to take part in the annual Metro Art Studios fundraising exhibit, 10 x 10, this November. All artwork will be sold for $100, with $50 going to Metro and $50 going to the artist.

All artwork must be exactly 10" x 10" square and no more than 2" deep. Work must be finished and ready to hang. If framed, the frame must be 10" x 10" square. All artwork must be original (no reproductions), but any medium is acceptable. No entry fee. See all details and entry form on the Metro website.

While trying to get to the bottom of who's dumping toxic waste in New Jersey, the Town weakling discovery leads him to being dumped in the toxic waste and die… only to come back as a super strong mutant!
