Supernatural Comic - A small rant

strangevisitor7I want the supernatural comic to be good. I really want to like it as it is great promotion for the show but after 3 issues I have spotted so many inconsistencies I have to wonder if the writer even watches the show. Below I've listed the ones I noticed and why I think the comic is wrong.
1) Ellen calls her daughter Josephine. But in No Exit we learn it's Joanna Beth. This one pisses me off the most
2) Th boys go to Harvell's. Even Ellen says she's never met the boys in ELAC and the boys have never heard of Ellen. I doubt Dean would forget especially since watches his dad kill a man right in front of the roadhouse
3) They get the Impala from a relative in issue #2. But John and the boys are sitting on the car in the pilot.
4) This is a small nitpick. (cause I am on a roll) John seems to leave the boys with friends and relatives all over the place in the comic. (I accept this in fan fiction but not in the comic) I always got the impression it was Pastor Jim or on the road.
5) John learns a Demon killed his wife in issue #3. Yet in the middle of season one he confirms to Dean that he's finally sure it was a Demon. Did he just never bother to tell Dean for 23 years?
6) And finally in issue 1 we learn that Dean and John have been lying to Sam about how his mom died. Sorry, don't believe it, John was all about the truth of what was out there. We know in the pilot John gave Sam a gun at 9 and told him to shoot the thing in the closet. So for John to do that, Sam must have held a gun & known about the supernatural before then.
And don't even get me started on the idea that Dean would leave Sam as proposed in issue #3. I know he doesn't but I firmly believe Dean would never even contemplate it. Still, I didn't put this on the list because this is my belief and not necessarily a conflict with canon
Like I said a lot of small things but the Jo one really bugs me because that is a friggn' character's name!
I'd love to know what ya'll think of the comic and if you've found other inconsistencies.

Date: 2007-07-09 04:50 pm (UTC)Just read Origins #2. Shouldn't have done that. I want my canon back! Seriously, WTF?!
Okay, That there was an uncle Jacob was interesting...could be the guy who had Mary's gravestone put up.
But: No way the Impala belonged to Jacob! I want my canon back! Also WTF: Really awesome idea to put a dead guy in your car and send it down a cliff, really! Won't look suspicious if it's found, noooo. Sure, that thing what they were trying to tell us was John's car was teh ugly and you just don't kill a pretty Impala dead. But: Canon says by the time of the pilot the Impala was a Winchester. So stfu, comic!
Oh and about the pics: Dude, you fugly!
Origins #3
I have no idea why I read this. Maybe I just like ranting too much (also the reason why I watch the Harry Potter movies).
What the hell? Is the timeline seriously fucked up or what? It's 1982 and John with Dean & Baby Sammy is looking for Mary's killer? I don't think so. And then they meet Ellen who has a daughter named Josephine who's about Dean's age? Did Jo have an older sister or what?
And the pics are still mighty ugly.
