Reed Pop, the convention company that brought us Star Wars Celebration 5, is holding the second C2E2 Comic Convention in Chicago, and Marjorie and Arnie from Star Wars Action News are there to report on the costumes, the collectibles, and more including a new Star Wars collectible from Diamond, and all the latest Star Wars book and story collecting news from Del Rey’s panel with Knight Errant author John Jackson Miler and Crosscurrent author Paul S. Kemp! Was C2E2 a wretched hive of scum and villainy, or should you plan to start your 2012 Convention Season in the Windy City? Listen to this week’s Star Wars Action News podcast to find out!

Also this week, some great in-store bargains, and Nathan P Butler looks back at the Hasbro comic pack line in the first of a multi-part series!
