Line 73:

*** [[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]] might fit somewhere what with the Mulder and Scully appearing in a Simpsons episdoe as a parody of the X-Files.

* Prior to the [[Tomb Raider]] Top Cow comic book Lara Croft would crossover with Witchblade. Since then she would have tons of other crossovers with Witchblade to the point it was impossible to say she wasn't part of the Top Cow universe, until her series ended and Top Cow lost the rights to Lara. A notable example is Lara being part the Monster War event.

* [[Hack Slash]] is treated to part of the same universe of the ''[[Re-Animator]]'', the Living Corpse comic, ''[[Child's Play (film)|Child's Play]]'', as well as the [[Lady Death]] Multiverse since Evil Ernie was reborn into the Hack/Slash universe after his latest death. Plus by extension [[Nightmare On Elm Street|Freddy]], [[Friday the 13th|Jason]], and [[Evil Dead|Ash]] are part of this universe because of the Evil Dead Re-Animator crossover.

** It makes sense seeing as how the creator of Hack/Slash believes that all slasher films and comics take place in the same universe.

* [[Savage Dragon]] treats the [[Mars Attacks!]] crossover as canon by having Damien Darklord a character who was created as a consequence of the crossover. This means at least the [[Savage Dragon]] part of the Image Universe is canon to [[Mars Attacks!]].

* [[Jack Kirby]] is the [[Trope Codifier]].

** Nowhere is it more extremely apparent than The Secret City Saga (an unsuccessful imprint of Topp Comics created by Kirby using unused ideas from other company's all set in the same universe). Among the most notable was Captain Victory being heavily implied to be [[New Gods|Orion's son]], Teen Agents meeting The Liberty Project from Eclipse Comics, and [[Friday the 13th|Jason Voorhees]] appearing in an issue of Satan's Six (which it was taken even further with them battling in hell suggesting that this took place in between Friday the 13th: The Final Friday) .

* The [[The DCU|DC]] and [[Marvel Universe|Marvel]] universes were born from this trope; originally, the titles published by each company did not overlap, but over time, cameos, [[Crossover]]s, and inside references combined to form the comic books into one big, interconnected web. That's not even counting the Amalgam universe.

** Mind, Marvel started this with the first issue of ''[[Spider-Man]]''. And even before that, Marvel started this 21 years earlier in the Timely Comics era, when Human Torch faced off against Namor the Submariner for the first time. They teamed a few more times over the next few years, and some of the less prominent characters occasionally got involved. Then, in 1946, Timely launched the All-Winners Squad, teaming up existing characters like Captain America, the Human Torch, and the Sub-Mariner (among others)
