Spot the Difference: X-men Stylee

[The Fury]

Welcome one and all to the first Annual X-men Spot the Difference competition. And yes, this is serious.

The Idea: I, The 'Furious' Fury, over this weekend will be posting 3 different X-men covers and beside them an editted version featuring 11 differences. Your part in all this is to find those differences and tell me by giving a description of where they are and posting it. The first person to spot a difference and tell me gets 1 point. After the weekend is finished, I will total the scores up and a Winner will be annouced.

The Prize: Er....how about...er....a FREE Cookie.


The First Spot the Difference: (Real Cover to the left, editted cover to the right).

P.S. If this doesn't work, screw it, it's funny.

P.P.S. The Cookie is not real.

P.P.P.S. Yes, I am bored, what of it?

[Dizzy D]

Fury, I would suggest you do the same as the quiz games on Books and Classics board: only 1 answer per poster to prevent a single poster from reaping all the points. Differences that aren't spotted can cary over to the next round for bonus points.

I could.

But then again today's is that last Round.

The whole thing is a bit....I'll say unorganised.

And the round thing, i was waiting till all the differences were found, they are not hard to be found, but I made the mistake of thinking Nightcrawler above got the last one, he didn't, I made a mistake.


OK, for next round (later) only 1 guess per post.

[ocelotrevs]

So when I spot the differences, I have to do each one in a seperate post?
