** Quite a few ''Superman'' covers reference the cover of the Action Comics issue in which Supes first appeared (the page image is from ''Comicbook/InfiniteCrisis'', with [[AlternateSelf Superman from Earth-2/Kal-L]] striking regular Superman/Kal-El). ''Film/SupermanReturns'' staged it in live action, while ''Series/SupermanAndLois'' inverted it, with Superman setting a damaged car down on the ground.
** ''Superman'' vol 2 #178, written by Creator/JephLoeb, opens with three teens heading down to Smallville General Store, in exactly the way the teenage Clark, Lana and Pete did in the opening of Loeb's ''Comicbook/SupermanForAllSeasons''. As a further gag, the counterpart to Pete is black and Lana's is Asian, reflecting the actors from ''Series/{{Smallville}}''

* In the ''Comicbook/{{Flashpoint}}'' miniseries "Frankenstein and the Creatures of the Unknown", the title character's first lines upon awakening are almost exactly what he says upon awakening in the present day in his ''ComicBook/SevenSoldiers'' miniseries, even though history's been changed in ''Flashpoint'' so that, among other things, he wakes up 60 years earlier.

* ''Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk'' #393, another 30th anniversary issue, revisited the site of Banner becoming the Hulk, and answered the question of [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse what happened to Igor Drenkov, the undercover Commie agent who didn't call off the test explosion of the gamma bomb when Banner ran out onto the field to rescue Rick Jones]]. The [[http://images.wikia.com/marveldatabase/images/4/47/Incredible_Hulk_Vol_1_393.jpg cover]] was also an homage to the [[http://images.wikia.com/marveldatabase/images/f/fa/Incredible_Hulk_Vol_1_1.jpg first issue's cover.]]

* Kathryn O'Brien in ''Comicbook/ThePunisherMAX'' has it mentioned that a previous married name of hers was [=McAllister=] and that she was previously romantically interested in "''the truly, irrevocably doomed... that stupid bastard Tommy''"... just like Kathryn [=McAllister=] of ''Comicbook/{{Hitman}}'', both penned by Garth Ennis.

* ''ComicBook/{{Thunderstrike}}'' Vol 1 #21 has the "Everyman [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]]" battle Loki with the help of Comicbook/SheHulk, Comicbook/AntMan (Scott Lang), and ComicBook/WarMachine. The cover is an homage to ''Comicbook/TheAvengers'' #1, with the heroes in the position of the original Avenger they're a counterpart to (Erik = Thor, Jen = [[Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk Bruce]], Scott = Hank and Rhodey = [[Comicbook/IronMan Tony]]).

* The cover of ''Comicbook/{{Excalibur}}'' #51 is an homage to the cover of #1, but with the [[LizardFolk humanoid dinosaur]] counterparts of the team from Earth-99476. Since that team doesn't have a Rachel, Dr Karl Lykos appears in her place.

A subtrope of MythologyGag. {{Bookends}} (and by extension, HereWeGoAgain) are a manifestation of Internal Homage. {{Exp|y}}ies, especially of the GenerationXerox variety, can be used to this end as well. {{Continuity Reboot}}s and otherwise alternate-continuity stories will often use Internal Homages to appease fans of the franchise's past. Extreme cases do this OncePerEpisode. CompanyCrossReferences differ in that they are homages between different franchises owned by the same company rather than staying within the same franchise.

* The first live-action ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' film had a scene where Jazz speeds towards Brawl, times his transformation so he lands on Brawl, and starts bending Brawl's tankmode's cannon so he cannot shoot. It's almost a shot-to-shot replica of Kup doing the same to Blitzwing in ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie''.
