Invincible also popped into the Marvel Universe for an issue of...Marvel Team-Up, I think?

Anyhoo, it sounds like it's pretty much self-contained so it's not going to be one of those series where you end a book and it has a reading order for books from 5 series you don't read so you can actually understand the story. I hate Events.

That's the first time I've heard of a cross-company comic team-up actually fitting into the established plotlines of either story. Usually they're morel like when Batman and Spiderman teamed-up to stop the Joker/Carnage team: totally non-canon, but fun.

Dimensional Shenanigans were going on in canon Invincible at the time, which was how they fit MTU into the storyline.

Yes, as said above trans-dimensional travel was a plot point in how it happened. The MTU book literally happens in between panels of an issue of Invincible where he goes into a portal and then comes out. To see what happened while he was in the portal you have to read that issue of MTU. So again, not required reading but it's definitely canon to the series.

Hopefully people are still reading Stray Bullets. This Sunshine and Roses storyline is taking forever, but just catching up on a few issues now, it's going really bonkers. Being close to a stroke victim myself, the latest developments strike a nerve, but if there's any series to feel conflicted about being entertained by, it's this one.

By the time it got to the story I was talking about with Angstrom Levy it was moving into the territory where it was getting to be too much.

I actually feel like there was a bit later on that calmed down. I'm pretty conflicted about the series because I don't really like the violence and they let a lot of interesting plots kind of die on the vine, but I'm looking forward to it ending so that I can take it in in its entirety.

The way that Image crossovers work is that basically each book is its own universe, but versions of characters from other books may exist in that universe. So while Dragon might appear in Invincible, that does not (necessarily) affect events in Savage Dragon the book, and vice versa. Invincible had a number of crossovers, including issue 60, which had literally dozens of Image characters appearing in it. Likewise, Savage Dragon had a streak of crossovers as well, where Dragon teamed up with Madman and the Amazing Joy Buzzards and others. [edit: There are, like you said, books that exist in the same universe as Invincible, like Brit, Astounding Wolf-Man, Capes, and Guarding the Globe.] The Invincible/Spider-Man crossover is definitely canon for Invincible and technically for Spider-Man, since it happened in a Marvel Universe book. It happened somewhere in the 30s of Invincible's run iirc. I do not believe that the Tick crossover was ever mentioned anywhere on panel in Invincible, but it and the Madman crossover are both definitely canon for the Tick.

And it's a matter of record that Stormwatch was wiped out by an infestation of Aliens on Skywatch!

Wasn't there some issue of The Walking Dead that had a joke ending where it crossed over with Invincible and TWD fans started freaking out assuming that it was now going to become a superhero comic?

All crossovers are canon unless a creator specifically says otherwise. I'm not sure where anyone would get the idea that the reverse is true.

The old crossover between Witchblade and a bunch of Marvel characters, Unholy Union, was canon for Witchblade, as it's the first time Dani ever met Jackie. She mentions it later during the "First Born" story.

Yup, it started out completely normal but then dead characters came back as cyborgs, Rick got a bazooka hand or something, Aliens arrived, it went nuts.

It was a bonus ending in issue 75 Thing is it didn't say it was a special ending or anything, the story just went that way without any warning. Artwork was a bit of a giveaway, though. Found some pages via GIS on Ebaumsworld (that place still exists?)

Oddly enough, the events of Superman/Aliens were actually canon for Superman for the longest time.

Whatever happened with Ether? #5 didn't seem like a real ending, but it's no longer solicited. I don't follow creators or anything and a quick google doesn't tell me anything. I assume cancelled due to low sales?

I've never even heard of Ether, but I read all of Mind MGMT last year and absolutely loved it. The art took some getting used to, but it does seem tailor-made for an excellent TV adaptation.

I love Mind MGMT but even in the wake of Legion I can't really see how Mind MGMT would work on TV without losing the aggressive reader interaction with the paneling, and while the core story is good it's also a bit light to make an entire series out of. Like if it was a TV show it would need to be a series of commercials. Or embedded within a PBS fundraising drive, where the fundraiser elements also, somehow, conveyed the same effect as the MGMT manual.

Would anyone here be interested in buying portions of my comic collection? From about Aug 2016 to Jun 2017 I bought many first print Cover A of every series that BEGAN within that time frame from Image and other indie publishers. Here's an incomplete list of them, from whenever I last updated my spreadsheet: 4 Kids Walk Into A Bar Belfry, The Black Monday Murders Britannia Cannibal Cave Carson Has A Cybernetic Eye Curse Words Demonic Doom Patrol Dregs, The Eclipse Ether Extremity Few, The Frostbite Galaxy of Brutality Glitterbomb God Country Grass Kings Green Valley Hadrian's Wall Horizon Kill or Be Killed Lake of Fire Loose Ends Mayday Monstress Moonshine Mother Panic Motor Crush Motro Namesake Old Guard, The Paper Girls Praxis Reborn Rockstars Romulus Royal City Seven to Eternity Shade the Changing Girl Shipwreck Snotgirl Sun Bakery Surgeon X Underwinter Violent Love I basically had to switch to just buying paperbacks of series I actually liked since my money situation had to be re-arranged. For a period I just had a bit of a surplus so I bought everything because I liked just the.. physicality of collecting them and going to the comic book store every week. I'll make an SA Mart post if there's interest.

Well it seems to be a reaction to extreme duress, or at least it's one of the ways there. Definitely bugfuck crazy though. As for reshaping biology, I think only Siegmund has approached that level of control, and not regenerating lost parts. It only happened again because they know its something Maria did and she was so keen on recreating her original conditions.
