Mosaic

This seems as good a place to ask as any: How will this site treat the Mosaic pieces published by IDW in their comics? I ask here because, while "Rain" and "Reason" are relatively timeless character pieces, "Ghost in the Machine" actually provided new information in the form of an "origin" for Punch / Counterpunch, something which hasn't been addressed in his other limited appearances in fiction. It's interesting, I think worth putting on his page...if it counts as canon.

So...do published Mosaic pieces have as much continuity value as the fan-art occasionally seen on the Marvel Comics letter pages, or might they be "official" enough to count as micro-canons and therefore referenced on the Wiki? --Xaaron 01:32, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I think the disclaimer printed beneath them, claiming no affiliation with IDW or Hasbro, makes them fan-art. - RolonBolon 01:38, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

But we're counting Hail and Farewell as official, because it's written by Furman and he said so. Are we going to pick and choose which Mosiacs are 'official' and which are merely 'officially published fanart'? --FFN 02:58, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

"Hail and Farewell" is murky ground. It's only been published in Furman's blog thus far, right? I think if it actually showed up printed in a comic AND carried the same disclaimer as the other Mosaics, we'd probably have to treat it as non-canon as well. --KilMichaelMcC 03:15, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
