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

[u/chichihehe]

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

I don’t think it has anything to do with Invincible,

Science Dog was actually conceived during the creation of Invincible, it wasn't a real comic book when it was first brought up in the Invincible comics. Originally, Science Dog was just a fun self-insert for Kirkman to make commentary on the superhero comic book genre as a whole, but it eventually turned into its own comic book series. He often poses as either the writer/penciler of Science Dog or the clerk at the comic book store that Mark picks his comics up from. I believe he and Ryan Ottley came up with the idea of Science Dog when they were first working together and eventually decided to spin it off into a real comic.

The first publication of Science Dog, in the real world, was in 2011. Invincible was first published in 2003 and the first few Science Dog references pre-dates that. Now that Science Dog is a real comic, some might say that this is a Science Dog reference and not an Invincible reference but I think by the commutative property, it checks out lol
