If there is one thing you can count on when it comes to continuity in comics it is that continuity in comics is something you can't count on!
Welcome to the beginning of the second year of Hey Kids, Comics! and our first new story arc, "Continuity is Not Absolute". In this issue Andrew and Cole discuss how the flow of continuity is an ever-changing aspect of comics. Be it from editorial mandate or a total lack of editorial foresight, many a beloved character or story is altered or made irrelevant. How can there truly be said to be a legitimate history in any given comic universe when any and all aspects thereof are subject to change at a whim?
Prepare yourself for a journey into the world of the retcon!
Hardcore comic book buffs may recognize that this story arc's title is a play on the tagline for Valiant Comics' 1992 cross-company crossover Unity, "Time is Not Absolute".
