I use Akismet through WordPress and it does a pretty good job. A few offensive comments have gotten through of late, so I am now updating my personal WordPress spam filter on the site. Fingers crossed it will catch the new stuff leaking through.

Ah. Thanks for clearing that up DiG. Ever think of adding Captcha to your blog, so these spam bots stop posting on your beautiful site ?

DC created Elseworlds as a way for creators to write non-canon stories about their heroes. They tended to be longer and better than Marvel’s What If one-shots that focused on what would happen if some critical event happened differently.

I do like this story, but it just introduced too many new elements (like the outrage over Banshee drug use) for it to be believable. As believable as super-powered mutants can be.

That was a pretty cool scene with Wolverine , Spider-Man and Kitty. But I have one important question…. What the hell is a ElseWorld ?

All and all I really enjoyed Ultimate X-Men. Are they really going to put a stop to all the “Ultimate” titles ?
