Thus far, Lieberman is the worst offender, and Gabrych goes down the smoothest.
Connect them to their titles, please.
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What P-C said.
I noticed in this week's installment (I spent less than $10 at the store ... felt weird) that the whole Batman is a menace thing was replaced by the idea that he exacerbated a tense situation.
Or maybe that's just my faulty memory of last week -- he was almost a murderer then.

Lieberman = Legends, Gabrych = 'Tec.
I think an organized storyline brings out the geek in Gabrych, while serving to rein in some of his more outlandish notions.
(In a totally unrelated to War Games note, a Google to make sure I had Gabrych's name spelled correctly verified that his pointy blond head is, in fact, one of the ones in my archive of boymackage example pages for drawing potential pervy fanart. There is something beautifully circular about that.)

What's the pitch for Marvel Age? It's not it's own entire continuity, like Ultimate, right? But it's younger, like much of Ultimate?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I think Marvel Age is geared toward younger readers, and so it's supposed to be more G-rated. Or at least PG.
Though I haven't read any, so I don't know if that's really the case.

A friend sent me the first Runaways TPB, and it doesn't feel significantly younger than Ultimate Spiderman.
It was fun, and too damned short.
They mention Batman! It was really weird. They mention him like we'd mention him (well, without porn) -- like the Avengers were real, and Batman a cultural ref.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
What's the pitch for Marvel Age?
I believe Marvel Age is a re-doing the original issues, but "modernized". So it's kinda like Ultimate, but it sticks to canon and I think there's an issue-to-issue mirror with the orginal comics from the 60s. I haven't read any of them, but I asked myself the same question a few months ago and that's what I was able to find out.

I don't think so, because the Runaways seem to exist in the current Marvel Universe, but I've never heard of them before. And there's the whole Spidergirl is the kid of Peter Parker thing, too.
