Hey Kids! #!%@#$&ing Comics!

So, I'm reading my comics the other day, including the all ages imprint Marvel Adventures which features ultra-fun and not at all Dark versions of our favorite Marvel characters. Ah, Earth-20051, with your high-adventures stories, clever plot twists and humorous characterization, I think I love you most of all!

Marvel Adventures Super-Heroes #9

Marvel Adventures Doctor Strange


Okay, okay, I Photoshopped the last panel...but everything before it is real! It really does say "Ultimates" on the UPC box of Marvel Adventures Super-Heroes #9! Whoopsie!
