Not really an issue to me. That just means they're nonlinear continuity forks. Even Image had a special issue or two that takes place deeper in the Mirage past, which along with the rest of Image was to be considered non-canon to later Mirage. It just depends on which corpus a continuity accepts as part of its own.
