Well, it really depends on how the show handles his return. The evil Sombra could be a clone, with these possible origins:


 * Regenerated/grown from some portion of Sombra other than his horn, as happened in this arc.
 * Created from Sombra's darkness, which could have been purged from him as a result of this arc but not utterly destroyed. The Ninjago series seems to have done something like this in recent seasons.
 * Born through a similar process to The Mean 6 (I saw somebody suggest this but don't recall who).
 * Somecreature could be impersonating Sombra deliberately, or some evil force could have magically transformed somepony into a Sombra duplicate. The old Star Wars Expanded Universe comic Star Wars Tales #9 did something like the latter in order to have a fight between Darth Vader and Darth Maul.

Now, I'll admit that it's entirely possible you're right and the comic will be proven non-canon. I just think it's a bit early to be saying it already has.
