I like the idea of that, but i have trouble imagining what we would consistently say is enough coverage of said event. Surely, based off of your reasoning, we still need to mention the comic in Iron Man? We'd still need to mention Death Head's flashback on a page like She-Hulk.
To restate the issue of this thread: The Incomplete Death's Head is a Trial of a Time Lord-esque comic where Death's Head views stories from his past and comments on them. The linking segments are set on a DWM-planet with a DWM-villain and a featuring appearance by the Seventh Doctor. The question is, simply, can we cover Death Head's comments on his memories and the transitions into his memories without covering the memories themselves? Could you write pages on the events of Trial of a Time Lord if the only version you had was just the courtroom scenes?
Frankly, I think it would be very hard to divorce the linking elements of The Complete Death's Head from the regular parts while still covering said linking segments. Especially considering that the flashbacks and the "linking" connections intertwine so seamlessly that, at one stage, the narration is seen over the comic itself. This is a DWU story set on a DWU planet with a DWU villain who has collected a series of stories that he views to have taken place in his universe.
Here's my suggested solution: we made one page for this entire comic's story. Just The Incomplete Death's Head (comic story). There, we'll cover the entire thing as one narrative, including the flashbacks. That way, we won't have to worry about the mess of giving all the stories included their own pages, but we can still accurately cover this blatantly DWU comic story.
