* ''ComicBook/TheMultiversity'':
** Creator/GrantMorrison's map of the Multiverse includes Wonderworld, a dimension that was featured in his ''[[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica JLA]]'' run. News articles have also mentioned that some of his characters from ''ComicBook/AnimalMan'' would appear on one Earth.
** He revisits some concepts he introduced in ''Comicbook/FinalCrisis'', such as President Superman and Earth-23, and Overman and Earth-10, and some he introduced in ''ComicBook/ActionComics'', like the mention of Superdoomsday, and Optiman's allies Red Racer and Flashlight.
** Earth-10's Batman is called Leatherwing, which was also the name of a pirate version of Batman (who according to ''The Multiversity Guidebook #1'' is the Batman of Earth-31).
** The variant cover to ''Society of Super-Heroes: Conquerors of the Counter-World #1'' featured the Batman-esque version of John Constantine called Hellblazer. Morrison created this version in an issue of ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol'', in a dreamworld that had more superheroic versions of the Vertigo-related characters. This world was seen again in the third ''Comicbook/TheBooksOfMagic'' annual.
** Sasha Norman, a.k.a. Sister Miracle of Earth-16 in ''The Just #1'', was first seen in ''Comicbook/SevenSoldiers'' while Shilo Norman was forced to endure alternate lives in the Omega Sanction.
** ''ComicBook/CountdownToFinalCrisis'' gets a mention during ''The Multiversity Guidebook #1'', specifically Superboy-Prime destroying Earth-15.\\
\\
Morrison references it again in ''Mastermen #1''. In Overman's dream of Lord Broken, the bodies at his feet are those of the Justice League Axis, the version of Earth-10's Justice League that Monarch recruited in ''Countdown to Adventure''.
** ''Mastermen #1'':
*** Overman's wife mentions that his cousin, Overgirl, was just a clone created from his stem cells, and if he wanted he could have her replaced. It's said that the original Overman in ''ComicBook/AnimalMan'' had his stem cells harvested by the government to create other heroes, his world's Justice League.
*** Overgirl's death "on a distant world" is another ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'' reference, and the scene of Overman holding her corpse is a reference to Supergirl's death in ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths''.
** ''The Multiversity #2'':
*** The corrupted Nix Uotan threatens to unleash his final attack after completing a rubik's cube in seventeen moves (something that's supposed to be impossible), much like how he regained his powers back in ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis''.
*** The ComicBook/{{Zatanna}} of Earth-13 is named Annataz, which was the name of the Earth-3 Zatanna seen in ''ComicBook/CountdownToFinalCrisis.''
*** Red Racer [[spoiler:and an army of alternate Flashes all use the "infinite mass punch" that Wally West used in Creator/GrantMorrison's very first story arc of ''JLA.'' He even comments that it came from "one of [his] favorite JLA stories."]]
*** [[spoiler: The Empty Hand mentions that the Gentry is still feeding off the carcass of Multiverse-2, which seems to be the pre-Flashpoint Multiverse created after ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''. This seems to highlight the discrepancies between the Multiverse as it is seen here, compared to how it was in ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'']].
** Nix Uotan is seen with a monkey sidekick, possibly the [[MonkeysOnATypewriter typewriting monkey]] from Morrison's ''Comicbook/AnimalMan'' and/or the monkey that helped Nix restore his Monitor powers in ''Comicbook/FinalCrisis''.
* ''Franchise/MyLittlePonyGeneration4'':
** In the short from Issue #4 of ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW'' Canterlot is protected by a force field as it was in "A Canterlot Wedding", though Shining Armor doesn't otherwise appear.
** In ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyMicroSeries'' Issue #2 the Double Rainboom causes a crop of Applejack's apples to become rainbow-colored and extremely tasty, akin to Zap Apples, though AJ doesn't call them out as such.
** ''[[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFiendshipIsMagic My Little Pony: Fiendship Is Magic #1]]'' opens on Twilight re-opening the secret passage in the throne room of the Crystal Palace [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E2TheCrystalEmpirePart2 using the same dark magic that she had used before]], and then finding the door at the bottom of the stairwell.
* In the second issue of the ''ComicBook/{{New 52}}'' reboot of the main Green Lantern magazine, Sinestro creates a GreenLanternRing for Hal Jordan, who immediately attacks him with the ring. However, as the ring is a construct of Sinestro's, it doesn't harm him as he is in control of it. Later, at the end of the fourth issue, Sinestro creates additional rings for the imprisioned Korugarans, who attempt to attack him due to their misconception of his Sinestro Corps. The fifth issue begins with the reveal that, like before, Sinestro is not harmed by the rings' attacks.

* The first scene of ''Franchise/GreenLantern: Rebirth'' (which tells the story of Hal Jordan's resurrection and his taking up the Lantern mantle once more) is a call-back to Hal's origin story in the very first issue of the series. It starts with an Oan spaceship crashlanding outside of an Air Force base in the desert with an injured Green Lantern in the cockpit. But this time, the injured Green Lantern is Kyle Rayner.
* In the second issue of the ''ComicBook/{{New 52}}'' reboot of the main Green Lantern magazine, Sinestro creates a GreenLanternRing for Hal Jordan, who immediately attacks him with the ring. However, as the ring is a construct of Sinestro's, it doesn't harm him as he is in control of it. Later, at the end of the fourth issue, Sinestro creates additional rings for the imprisioned Korugarans, who attempt to attack him due to their misconception of his Sinestro Corps. The fifth issue begins with the reveal that, like before, Sinestro is not harmed by the rings' attacks.
* ''Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man'' #1 (2011) opens with Norman Osborn observing an OZ-contaminated spider whilst telling a scientist the myth of Arachne, which happened in the opening panels of ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' #1. There's a bit of FridgeBrilliance in that the dialogue is just slightly altered to clarify a different moment in time, and that the spider, rather than the original 00, is marked 42.
* In the third ''ComicBook/{{Blacksad}}'' album "Red Soul", Blacksad is sufficiently annoyed when he has to attend a Natalia Wilford Look-A-Like contest when doing bodyguard duty for a rich client. This should only make sense if you've read the first one, and know about his history with the real woman.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''
** In issue 16 of the comics, in the story "Five Green Vandals", Bubbles dredges up Buttercup's crush on Gangreen Gang leader Ace in the TV episode "Buttercrush". Buttercup is naturally repulsed by it.
** Issue #30's "Monkey See, Monkey Dough": Mojo wants to hire Bubbles to clean a device (which she doesn't know is a destruction device), and she instantly brings up how she and her sisters helped Mojo nearly take over Townsville in the movie.
* In ''Comicbook/SupergirlRebirth'', Director Chase states that ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'' is working for the DEO because her powers faded (at Supergirl vol. 6 issue #40), her cousin Franchise/{{Superman}} died (in ''Comicbook/SupermanSuperLeague''), and she wants to keep protecting Earth in his stead.
* In ''ComicBook/DeathOfTheFamily'', [[spoiler: Joker tells Damian how he can't really get people to laugh without giving them a pharmaceutical push first. In fact, Batman was apparently the only person he could get to actually laugh. In case you're wondering, Joker is referring to ''ComicBook/TheKillingJoke'', or its ending]]. In addition, the Joker commits many crimes similar to the ones he committed in his first appearances back in the 40s.
* After the apparent death of [[TheMentor Professor]] [[ComicBook/XMen X]], ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} throws in with his ex and a number of former teammates to keep mutants safe and teach them how to command their powers while maintaining tactical[=/=]philosophical opposition to the people running his old alma mater. The original concept of ''ComicBook/XFactor'' (ca. 1985)? Or [[spoiler: his post-''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'' (ca. 2012) status quo]]?
* ''Franchise/MyLittlePonyGeneration4'':
** In the short from Issue #4 of ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW'' Canterlot is protected by a force field as it was in "A Canterlot Wedding", though Shining Armor doesn't otherwise appear.
** In ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyMicroSeries'' Issue #2 the Double Rainboom causes a crop of Applejack's apples to become rainbow-colored and extremely tasty, akin to Zap Apples, though AJ doesn't call them out as such.
** ''[[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFiendshipIsMagic My Little Pony: Fiendship Is Magic #1]]'' opens on Twilight re-opening the secret passage in the throne room of the Crystal Palace [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E2TheCrystalEmpirePart2 using the same dark magic that she had used before]], and then finding the door at the bottom of the stairwell.
* Issue #13 of Marvel's ''WesternAnimation/LaffALympics'' has [[WesternAnimation/WackyRaces Dick Dastardly and Muttley]] paying a visit to the Rottens' training camp.
-->'''Dread Baron:''' What have you been up to since [they last met], Dick?\\
'''Dastardly:''' [[WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines I spent some time chasing a pigeon...]]
* ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'':
** We have Mark discovering his powers by throwing the trash bag with a little too much power. Many issues later, we cut to London, England, where a passerby comes by an odd trashbag labeled "Burger Mart"...
** Another call back, when William finds out that Mark is Invincible and that he can fly, he asks for what every man wishes he could do. Later on, William finds out who Atom Eve is, and asks for the same thing. The call back? Mark and Eve's response. "''This is so gay.''"
* ''ComicBook/LutherArkwright'': Plenty in the sequel ''Heart of Empire''. One of the most prominent is when Victoria wakes up naked on parallell 00.69.05, walks out in public, and garbs herself in a Union Jack flag. Both the event and the poses calls back to when her father Luther did the same in the royalist camp in ''The Adventures of Luther Arkwright''.
* During Dwayne [=MacDuffie=]'s run on ''Comicbook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'', Comicbook/AnimalMan finally accepts that he's being mucked about by a villian who can control stories when he suddenly realises he's eating chicken. A subtle nod to the end of Grant Morrison's run on ''Animal Man'', when Morrison's AuthorAvatar used the example of Buddy suddenly not being vegetarian to illustrate the power the writers had over him.
* At one point in ''ComicBook/KickAss'', Dave's friends [[SeinfeldianConversation decide to invent a new curse]], and come up with 'tunk' to refer to a cock and balls; specifically, they intend it to be the male equivalent of 'cunt'. They resolve to drop it into as many conversations as they can. In the last issue of Volume One, [[spoiler:John Genovese is shot in the crotch, and exclaims "He just shot me in the fucking tunk!"]].
* ''ComicBook/TheMultiversity'':
** Creator/GrantMorrison's map of the Multiverse includes Wonderworld, a dimension that was featured in his ''[[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica JLA]]'' run. News articles have also mentioned that some of his characters from ''ComicBook/AnimalMan'' would appear on one Earth.
** He revisits some concepts he introduced in ''Comicbook/FinalCrisis'', such as President Superman and Earth-23, and Overman and Earth-10, and some he introduced in ''ComicBook/ActionComics'', like the mention of Superdoomsday, and Optiman's allies Red Racer and Flashlight.
** Earth-10's Batman is called Leatherwing, which was also the name of a pirate version of Batman (who according to ''The Multiversity Guidebook #1'' is the Batman of Earth-31).
** The variant cover to ''Society of Super-Heroes: Conquerors of the Counter-World #1'' featured the Batman-esque version of John Constantine called Hellblazer. Morrison created this version in an issue of ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol'', in a dreamworld that had more superheroic versions of the Vertigo-related characters. This world was seen again in the third ''Comicbook/TheBooksOfMagic'' annual.
** Sasha Norman, a.k.a. Sister Miracle of Earth-16 in ''The Just #1'', was first seen in ''Comicbook/SevenSoldiers'' while Shilo Norman was forced to endure alternate lives in the Omega Sanction.
** ''ComicBook/CountdownToFinalCrisis'' gets a mention during ''The Multiversity Guidebook #1'', specifically Superboy-Prime destroying Earth-15.\\
\\
Morrison references it again in ''Mastermen #1''. In Overman's dream of Lord Broken, the bodies at his feet are those of the Justice League Axis, the version of Earth-10's Justice League that Monarch recruited in ''Countdown to Adventure''.
** ''Mastermen #1'':
*** Overman's wife mentions that his cousin, Overgirl, was just a clone created from his stem cells, and if he wanted he could have her replaced. It's said that the original Overman in ''ComicBook/AnimalMan'' had his stem cells harvested by the government to create other heroes, his world's Justice League.
*** Overgirl's death "on a distant world" is another ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'' reference, and the scene of Overman holding her corpse is a reference to Supergirl's death in ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths''.
** ''The Multiversity #2'':
*** The corrupted Nix Uotan threatens to unleash his final attack after completing a rubik's cube in seventeen moves (something that's supposed to be impossible), much like how he regained his powers back in ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis''.
*** The ComicBook/{{Zatanna}} of Earth-13 is named Annataz, which was the name of the Earth-3 Zatanna seen in ''ComicBook/CountdownToFinalCrisis.''
*** Red Racer [[spoiler:and an army of alternate Flashes all use the "infinite mass punch" that Wally West used in Creator/GrantMorrison's very first story arc of ''JLA.'' He even comments that it came from "one of [his] favorite JLA stories."]]
*** [[spoiler: The Empty Hand mentions that the Gentry is still feeding off the carcass of Multiverse-2, which seems to be the pre-Flashpoint Multiverse created after ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''. This seems to highlight the discrepancies between the Multiverse as it is seen here, compared to how it was in ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'']].
** Nix Uotan is seen with a monkey sidekick, possibly the [[MonkeysOnATypewriter typewriting monkey]] from Morrison's ''Comicbook/AnimalMan'' and/or the monkey that helped Nix restore his Monitor powers in ''Comicbook/FinalCrisis''.
* ''Comicbook/SwampThing'' Vol. 2 #43, "[[Recap/SwampThingVolume2Issue43Windfall Windfall]]": Sandy's good trip is a general Call Back to Abby's in [[{{Recap/SwampThingVolume2Issue34RiteOfSpring}} Rite of Spring]]. The Call Backs within Milo's bad trip are more specific, referencing the Swamp Thing's origin story (Volume 1 Issue 1 and elsewhere), the Patchwork Man (Vol. 1 #3), the Conclave robots (Vol 1. # 6), General Sunderland (Vol. 2 #6-21), the [[{{Recap/SwampThingVolume2Issue38StillWaters}} Rosewood "Mother" vampire]], the [[{{Recap/SwampThingVolume2Issue25TheSleepOfReason}} Monkey King]], a werewolf (Vol. 1 #4), the Un-Man Cranius (Vol. 1 #10), an alien (Vol. 1 #9), and finally, as the driver who accidentally kills Milo, [[BigBad Arcane]].
* Nintendo's German staff released a ''VideoGame/YoshisStory'' special that contained {{Anvilicious}} stories obviously aimed at children, including one where a black Yoshi was subjected to FantasticRacism. Awesomely, he turned out to be the Yoshi from "Mario im Wunderland" (a [[OffToSeeTheWizard ''The Wizard of Oz'' parody]] published in ''Club Nintendo'' five years earlier) who had complained about being green just like the bushes and been turned black by the wizard.
