 The X-Men.

They have a move series, multiple cartoon series, mangas, novels, actionfigures, tabletop games, and even comicbooks, and no one is having apoleptic fits trying to make those all tie in together into a seemless chronology. They don't even try to keep it consistent between properties. 

 X-Men comicbooks?  You're making that up!

Aw, darn, you beat me to that.  I can't believe that X-Men has become so popular that they've even branched out into comic books!  ^_~

Ths reminds me of a conversation I had semi-recently at work.  I'm known as a lot of things at work (some unmentionable) and one is: "The Comic book Guy".  (Not the same as the Simpson's Comicbook Guy.)  So a guy (we'll just call him guy to protect his identity) comes over to me and says:

GUY: I walked past the magazines the other day and I saw a new Superman comic.

ME : Oh?

GUY: Yeah, it was the stupidest thing!  On the cover, it showed Superman fighting an alien!

ME : ...

GUY: I mean, they must be so out of ideas if Superman is now fighting aliens!

ME : Brent... you do know that Superman IS an alien, right?

Guy: ...

ME : From the Planet Krypton?

Guy: Yeah... but.

ME : No.

And then I turned and walked away.  I think someone said, "Oh, Snap!" but maybe that was just in my head.
