Also, there's no such thing as official canon.
No statement has ever been made, it's all canon, you just have to decide how it all fits, or simply relegate certain material to non-canonical universes yourself, but nobody has to agree with your take on it.
And back on topic, I remember Salvaje and his cult, he had that commtech working for him who got taken away by men in black and got drugged, right?
That whole storyline could've made a great seperate story altogether.
