I just chalk it up to cross-company shoutouts, personally. However, I do see your point-- the events of the Silver Surfer/Superman crossover were also indirectly mentioned in a Marvel bio, but I don't know if you could consider it 'canon' for the very same reasons. /shrug


Also the Surfer/Green Lantern crossover was referenced in a Thanos storyline (actually it was essential to explain how Thanos got to where he was).

Was that the one where Thanos uses Terrax to attack Kyle Rayner or some sort of shenanigans? How was that used to reference a Thanos appearence? I it is that storyline I think it ended with him being sucked into the rift as the realities separated. (Parallax Hal being shot out into space or some sort of junk in the process)

Good point. Do you know where I can see Brevort saying that? I mean a site or scan, whatever.

Old thread!

Anyway, DC did reference the storyline directly- the cosmic egg created by it showed up again in a later JLA story.

The characters don't have memory of what happened, but the events happened and had an effect.


It's kinda like how Wildcats/Aliens killed Stormwatch. Blatantly canon, played into the start of the Authority, but they cannot directly show Xenomorphs or such, only say 'some alien monsters killed Stormwatch.'


Crossovers don't have to be non-canon, but even when they are, you can't directly refer to the other side of the crossover outside of it save in generic terms.

I believe Spawn/Batman crossover was canon, too?

On the Spawn side, quite possibly.


It's interesting that sometimes you get asymmetrical canons, where something is canon to one but not another.

Yeah, I'm aware of those. Honestly, I thought JLA/Avengers (or Marvel vs. DC) was canon only to DC. Turns out I was wrong?

Wasn't Spawn's famous facial scar the result of Bruce's batarang? That would make it canon for Spawn. He's appeared in many-many issues with it.

Where handbook evidence is concerned, the OHOTMU: Alternate Universes guidebook gives a specific numerical designation for the "Amalgam pocket universe" that was created during DC vs. Marvel #03 -- Earth-9602:

(outlined in red.)


So it would seem that Marvel regards that crossover as canon to some extent, as they do the "Amalgam Universe" material.

That HOTU thing appear in some handbooks but Brevoort says It is not cannon, so I don't know.
Igniz here said Brevoort stated Marvel vs DC is not Canon too. I wish somebody could help me find Brevoort really saying this.

What Brevoort said in random interviews is irrelevant. He's a tard.


Also, the events of 'The End' have been shown/mentioned in multiple comics(not including Handbooks.) It is 100% canon.

Yeah Brevoort is pretty ****ed up, hard to take his word lol
That event has indeed being mentioned in comics and I think two times or more.

But I would still like to see Brevoort saying something about JLA/Avengers, do you know something about?

Those 'The End' series are all canon? I don't see how that's possible...

thumb up ... That's always been my stance.

In JLA/Avengers ... Marvel and DC were part of the same Multiverse. no expression laughing out loud

Note that stuff can be canon, and still never mentioned again. Consider all the little one-shot villains and such.
