They REALLY better not **** this up. It could be awesome, especially if it's in the tone of the current comics.
BUT, having been stung by this sort of thing before, we all know it won't be!
I don't know why, but why is it when I look at the logo the first thing that pops in my mind was that really bad "Night Man" TV series they did a few years back. God, I hope they put some real money into this show, or else I'm afraid that's what it'll end up looking like.
hahaha, i never watched it cuz it looked so bad. remember mantis? i hope this is at least that good, cuz i seem to remember kinda liking that show for some reason.
