User:SOTO/Forum Archive/Inclusion debates/@comment-1272640-20170103075953/@comment-1350697-20170119164749 I can understand the argument in favour, but I think this is more like how Image Comics used to rules-lawyer crossovers between wildly contradictory universes.

i.e. let's say New York has been destroyed in Invincible, but not in Savage Dragon. If Invincible shows up in an issue of Savage Dragon, clearly the events of Invincible can't have happened in Savage Dragon, so for the purposes of Savage Dragon, the only things you can say are true about Invincible is what you see on the page. Nothing from Invincible that hasn't explicitly been shown or said in Savage Dragon is canon for Savage Dragon. If nobody calls him Mark, you can't say he's called Mark in Savage Dragon. If he never takes off his mask, you can't say anything about the colour of his eyes, etcetera.
