Yeah, the bargin kid's comic. They're 'loosely' within continuity of the 616. Basically whenever something big happens the comics kinda parodies it with a E+ perspective. They even had an Invasion tie-in.
So sad to know all that.
Once upon a time the series was actually kinda serious, but they redesigned for the Maguzi/Toonami crowd some time ago. I admit there's a certain charm about them. A Spy-Kids-type movie that kids and adults could dig would work.
