Intercompany Crossovers
In comic books, an intercompany crossover (also called cross-company or company crossover) is a comic or series of comics in which characters, that at the time of publication are the property or licensed property of one publisher, meet characters owned or licensed by another publisher (for example, DC Comics and Marvel Comics collaborating on '' Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man'' or WildStorm (DC Comics) and Dynamite Entertainment teaming to produce '' Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash''). These crossovers typically occur in "one-shot" issues or miniseries. Some crossovers are part of canon, but most are outside of the continuity of a character's regular title or series of stories. They can be a joke, a dream sequence, or even a "what if" scenario (such as Marvel's ''What If'' series or DC's ''Elseworlds'' titles). While '' Avengers/JLA'' is debatably considered canon, Marvel/DC crossovers are generally considered non-canonical. They include those where the characters live in altern ...

Indicia (publishing)
Indicia is the plural of the Latin word ''indicium'', meaning distinguishing marks. In magazine and comic book publishing, indicia refers to a piece of text traditionally appearing on the first recto page after the cover, which usually contains the official name of the publication, its publication date, information regarding editorial governance of the publication, and a disclaimer regarding disposition of unsolicited submissions.

Earth-616
In the fictional Marvel Comics multiverse, Earth-616 is the primary continuity in which most Marvel Comics titles take place. History of the term The term was first used in "Rough Justice", a story credited to both Alan Moore and Alan Davis published in July 1983 by Marvel UK in the anthology comic ''The Daredevils'' (and was later reprinted in the ''Captain Britain'' trade paperback). Saturnyne uses the term to differentiate Brian Braddock, the Captain Britain of the regular Marvel Comics universe, from the other members of the Captain Britain Corps, each of which inhabit different universes. The designation was later used by the American branch of Marvel Comics in the ''Excalibur'' title, which frequently referenced Captain Britain's early UK-published adventures.
