Are the Image Universe and Top Cow Universe one and the same?

Guardians of the Globe is a spinoff from Invincible, chronicling what's happening back on earth while he's off fighting the Viltrumite War.
As for whether they're all connected with each other, I have no idea. I think they are when it suits the writers and they're not when it doesn't.

I wish it was like that in DC and Marvel. I'd love to be able to just get back into the X-Men comics without having to worry about trying to keep up with yearly crossover events with other Marvel books.
Of course, I also wish there were only one or two books per character/group at a time (not including special one-shot stories that are outside the current book's canon), but that's probably not likely to ever happen.
Characters like Sara Pezzini, the Darkness, and the Magdelena definitely seem to coexist in the same reality constantly. Pretty solid connection there.
^ Well the Darkness and Witchblade are connected with each other as well.
This is confusing a lot of different things. Characters from the Wildstorm universe started appearing in DC Comics long before it was suggested that they were part of the DC Multiverse (For example, Majestic stood in for Superman for a few issues).
Then when they decided to do a revamp, they sent Captain Atom over there and in his mini-series, he blew up and reset the Wildstorm universe. The idea being the writers want to change some of the background details of some of the characters and situations.
Then Grant Morrison and Jim Lee kick-started this new Era with a new WILDCATS #1 and then... well then nothing... so the writers went straight back to the old Universe and carried on from there. Around this time in some DC comics, the Wildstorm universe is given a number in the multiverse so chronic masturbators can be happy about how it all fits together.
Em.. yeah? How is that unclear in my answer?
All you said was that Marc Silvestri created the characters not that they were all connected to each other. Whatever though.
No I didn't, read it again.
My mistake. For some reason I didn't read the second part of the sentence.
I believe IIRC that issue dealt with the "War of the Witchblades" between Sara and Danielle. Sara won that battle but I don't remember how it was supposed to tie in with Image United aside from perhaps Sara was meant to appear as Witchblade in it.
