John Meredith, the webmaster of www.mutantunderground.co.uk, has created the site "in order to get a fan community going based around X-Men comics. Currently there is just a forum (the main point) and as it's a UK based site, I would also like UK features based on X-Men comics. Shipping dates, average comic prices etc. All site owners are more than welcome to become forum moderators, and hopefully we can get a good fan review database going. I will also get onto creating a UK comic store/online ordering database with links. If you want to take part or even just stop by to chat, feel free. The community is the main thing and if I can get that off the ground, I'll be very happy indeed."
