Malibu Comics

[1][2][3] Notable titles published by Malibu included The Men in Black, Ultraforce, and Night Man.

Later, after a legal battle with the creators, Malibu created a shared universe called Shattered Earth.

The Centaur heroes and other characters from Adventure (Miss Fury and Rocket Ranger), and Eternity (Dinosaurs for Hire, Ex-Mutants) plus Dead Clown and Widowmaker, were put together in one Universe to form the Genesis line.
