Was Watching Gameplay of TWD: The Final Chapter and Spotted An Invincible Reference GAMING

I thought this was rather cool and searched it, seems no one has spotted this. Or at least pointed it out on the Internet lol. I know it's an old game but I think it's still pretty cool.

Science Dog was another comic Kirkman wrote, and Carl wears it during S1 of TWD. I don’t think it has anything to do with Invincible, other than Sèance Dog is a reference/rename

Science Dog is in the Invincible comics, as a comic itself that Mark read. They changed it to Seance Dog in the show.

According to IMDB:

The change from Science Dog to Séance Dog in the show was due to retaining rights for a potential spin-off series continuity. In the animated adaptation of Robert Kirkman's groundbreaking comic series, Invincible, viewers were treated to a delightful twist on Mark Grayson's preferred comic book saga; Séance Dog.

So basically Kirkman didn't want to sign away any rights to Science Dog to Amazon while doing Invincible. It seems he might have plans to do more with that comic separately
