John Smith (comics) - The Smithiverse

The Smithiverse

Examples of John Smith's cross-referencing of characters throughout his oeuvre include:

• Renegade Indigo Prime agents Fervent and Lobe originally appeared in Tyranny Rex. Although Indigo Prime had only appeared in the Future Shock "A Change of Scenery" at that point, Smith said he always had the Smithiverse in mind: "They were both part of the same tailor-made Universe. That was intended right from the start."
• Characters from Pussyfoot 5 originally appeared in Devlin Waugh.
• The character Mr Cheetl originally appeared in Firekind and Mr Vathek, another member of his species the Chadarisq-Khan, appears in Pussyfoot 5.
• Two members of Indigo Prime, Dazzler and Creed, appear in Scarab #7, "by that time I was probably just so sick of the thing I thought - 'Fuck it. I’ll rip off my own story' – and stuck in ‘Indigo Prime’ as a lazy way out.".
• Winwood and Cord appear in the last few pages of Dead Eyes uploading Danny's soul into a cloned body after the human race in his place (Reality 377) are killed.
