So I haven’t been keeping a close enough watch on the whole First Wave thing, but that Batman/Spirit team up a while back pretty firmly placed The Spirit in the DCU, right? I haven’t actually read it yet (do I look like the kind of guy that actually reads this trash? Come on!) but that’s what I’ve heard.
And now that a new trade with his recent ongoing is solicited, this would be a reasonable time to add in all The Spirit archives? I mean, if we have the Action Heroes Archives and the like for characters that are later in the DCU, The Spirit ones make sense too, right?
I have a feeling that if the THUNDER agency.. or thunder cats. Or whatever those guys were called… well, if they show up in the DCU soon I’m gonna have to add them in too. Work work work. Let’s hope that I don’t have to add in Elfquest. I’d like to be done adding in books soon!
First Wave exists in its own universe not the normal DCU. I know The Spirit series that followed Batman/The Spirit took place in the DCU, no idea where you would place the archives though. This comment probably wasn’t that helpful, lol.

Yeah, I thought it was something like that – in which case it’s basically an extended Elseworlds.
The Archives are easy – just placed by date with the rest of the Golden Age crap. Not much of that stuff really interacted on a regular basis anyway. At least not like it did after the silver age and onwards into our current continuity event clusterfu- er.. clusterparty.
