How is the Image series supposed to fit with Volume 4 and Tales Volume 2?

Aaaaaaand those people should go outside and make friends with Mr. Sun.

I'm the first guy to say continuity is important, at least if the stories you're telling are going to constantly reference stories that came before, the "history" should at least be semi-consistent. But at the same time, it's all just make-believe, and a good story that's not canon is worth more than a bad one that's supposed to be.

Like "...For The Man Who Has Everything" from Action Comics Annual #11, or "Whatever Happened To The Man Of Tomorrow?", the last Superman stories pre-Crisis. None of those stories "count", but anyone who says they like Superman and yet hasn't read them is a f*cking idiot. They're great stories even if they contradict other stuff.

Canon's not everything, or at least it shouldn't be. It's all fake, who really cares?

More to the topic, I didn't really care for Image so it's easy enough for me to just say "Eh, Earth-2." Or wherever in the Multiverse that Image exists.
