It's a Bat-Horned-Pegasus! Right?

I love it no matter what you call it.

Looks to me like a Bat-Unicorn-Bodybuilder of questionable gender but definite attitude. (I don't see Pegasus - you may be looking at the bat-cape. I think.)

Whatever it is, I certainly found it amusing.

It is a cape, but I guess my brain didn't go there because no self-respecting horse would be caught dead with a cape trailing out behind them. Or at least all of mine would have run like hell with that thing flapping behind -------------------- �Bones is heading into its 7th year & there comes a point where you put up or shut up...You can�t extend that tension that long without your fans breaking." ~ Castle's creator

Batman is one of my favorite heroes EDIT: I should add that is drawn in an old-schooled fashion, along the lines of the original Batman cartoons. Anything recent (in the last 10 years) and all the re-launches/re-interpretations go much darker. They don't use the gold batsymbol on the chest for instance.

I thought I'd already posted about this here but can't find it so maybe I didn't:

On Friday, I tweeted Mike Stackpole about the Fangirl blog April 1st "news": What we found today.

He tweeted me back:

QUOTE (Mike Stackpole)

Alas, I couldn't read the web archive file, but pieced together the text. THAT would be a book I'd love to read!

Thanks, Mike!

Oh, if only he'd get the chance to write it!

BTW, I couldn't open that web archive file from my Firefox browser either. It will only open in Internet Explorer for some reason.

Classy as always.

I have to give a big shout out to Lex and Solo_and_Fel for stepping up and helping give life to the inspiration of the April Fool's joke. Solo_and_Fel really stepped up and was researching images a month ago. Lex scripted the blurb after I gave him the story blurb. Funny story behind this all - in looking for a good Soontir I finally was inspired by an episode of Fringe and I go to post that Joshua Jackson would be a good look, and I find this cover already done. Doesn't he look like Joshua? Great Minds Think Alike, methinks.
