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.
