New page

Perhaps this may seem ''too'' speculative, but DC Comics "in universe" may actually exist in Astro City. The only info I can recall is that Sally Twinings worked for them for a while and that DC made an appearance at Astro City Comicon. That is, can we tell that Twinings worked at a distance for one employer and not another--is DC demonstrably more or less AC-based than its competitors (like Neet or Rampart) that aren't explicitly located in AC?

-:DC, Vertigo and Wildstorm all had banners at that Astro City Comic Convention. Hardcode, very popular, and very real guests like Mark Evanier and Julius Schwartz also are on-panel. So it's not even something speculative.  It happened.

 :Should it be brought up here on Herocopia?  Given that it is comic related gives it some slack. Helps too that they even have some relevancy to the story. Some trivial mention here is to me, a yea sure, maybe, ok. This is borderline. It's not a big deal, contributors are welcome to have some fun with it.

It would be just incidental, part of setting and dressing a scene. It's not part of the mythos and invention that is Astro City. '''[[Beefy Bob's]]''' on the other hand is an Astro City invention. It definitely has value being inventoried here. In this particular example, a case can easily be made for a stand alone entry, because yea, there is enough content there to make the page interesting.
