ok and so this is everything. Let's see if we can come up with something together, Selfish!

1st problem I've found!

With issue 2 of Youngblood we have ShadowHawk from the Shadowline Universe.

I've found this reading order: https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/profile/bobcole132/lists/95052/ultimate-shadowhawk-reading-order

Tho Shadowline released much more comics and IDK if they all are in-continuity: https://imagecomics.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Shadowline

During the early days of Images the 7 founder intended for their works to be all in the same universe. After the falling outs that led to the Shattered Image events Shadowline turn itself into a mini Image Comics within Image but most of the Superhero output is meant to be the same universe.

It Will go in version 6 I think.

Also the Shadowhawk you meet in Young Bloods which was his debut issue will not be the same Shadowhawk that appears after 1994.

I know about that.

Shadowline is very early Image years before it kinda fizzled out and became imbedded firmly into other Image stories.

I believe I've mentioned this before. It's not its own entity the same way Invincible, Spawn or Witchblade are.
(Entity in a narrative sense.)

Since 1997 Jim Valentino is more focus on using Shadowline to publish independent creators works then making his own works.

Yeah. Also, those independent stories aren't part of any crossovers or anything.

Thanks guys!

Interesting! I'm working on a unified timeline for the Top Cow and Dynamite universes (they share the same timeline), and I'm also "deciphering" the events of Shattered Image.

f you want to say something or leave a comment, feel free to do it here or in private. I'd be happy to help.
