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.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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?

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.

This article describes Marvel Age titles: "Marvel has announced Marvel Age, a new imprint of 'all ages' comic books targeting both new and young readers. Marvel Age comics will reprint 'some of the best Marvel stories of the last few years,' and, more controversially, update 'some of the greatest stories from Marvel mythology.' "

Ah. Whoops. Nevermind then. Guess I should have been a little more thorough in my original search for information.
