Western Comic Books are like a giant house that is never going to get finished because it is constantly being rebuilt and redesigned by a successive and never-ending stream of madmen, each of whom have a deep seated, fundamental, seething hatred of their predecessor's own, specific brand of madness.

Sometimes when a franchise is big enough, old enough, and/or popular enough, it spawns a couple of different continuities. This is generally an artifact of the collaborative nature of certain mediums, like film, video games or comic books. Just about any popular horror franchise is guilty of this, as is anything to do with comic book superheroes, but to me the best example would be Sonic the Hedgehog, which at last count has a whopping nineteen official continuities stemming from everything from changing a game's story during translation to multiple mutually-exclusive animated series. In any case, sometimes I wanna talk about all the alternate continuities that wouldn't ordinarily fit anywhere else on this blog. When that's the case, it goes here.
[Note: this list is pretty sparse right now, but it will grow over time, especially once I start covering popular horror franchises from the 70s and 80s. Doom is on here too because Doom 3 is on the main List (though a long way off!)]
