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 generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
