That is a sweet cover, I love covers that meld characters with backgrounds like that.

On a side note, people are gonna be surprised by the show. I dug the pilot. It's not what you might expect. I'll have a write up before the episode airs.

@gmanfromheck: Will there be a review for the pilot?

@nightfang3: Something like that. Maybe not an official "review" but definitely my thoughts on it and why people should check it out.

@gmanfromheck: That's cool.

@gmanfromheck: Good to hear, I was worried it wouldn't be that great. I'll definitely have to watch it then.
