The Kirbyverse's Odd Continuity
In addition to previous Kirby independent comic book creations, Silver Star and Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers (originally published under the banner of one of the first so-called "independent publishers" of the early 1980s, the now-defunct Pacific Comics) retconned to become Kirbyverse canon, there are a few other odd quirks that one must consider.
The Liberty Project: In Jack Kirby's TeenAgents #3, the children of Inner City meet members of The Liberty Project, a super-hero team originally created by writer Kurt Busiek and penciler James W. Fry, that starred in their own series published by Eclipse Comics in the mid-1980s.
One of the oddest Kirbyverse continuity quirks is that the supernatural serial killer Jason Voorhees and his exploits in the Friday the 13th film series could quite possibly be considered Kirbyverse canon as well, for he guest starred in Satan's Six #4 (1993), in a story that seemingly took place sometime after the events of the New Line Pictures film, Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, in which the Six battle Voorhees in Hell. At the time, Topps Comics held a licence on the character, having published a comic book adaptation of the aforementioned Jason theatrical vehicle.

Famous quotes containing the words odd and/or continuity:
“We have dancing ... from soon after sundown until a few minutes after nine o’clock.... Occasionally the boys who play the female partners in the dances exercise their ingenuity in dressing to look as girlish as possible. In the absence of lady duds they use leaves, and the leaf-clad beauties often look very pretty and always odd enough.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Every society consists of men in the process of developing from children into parents. To assure continuity of tradition, society must early prepare for parenthood in its children; and it must take care of the unavoidable remnants of infantility in its adults. This is a large order, especially since a society needs many beings who can follow, a few who can lead, and some who can do both, alternately or in different areas of life.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
