It was their attempt to do an unrelated "start from scratch" people-with-powers but not superhero line, about twenty years back. Some of it worked well. Most of it didn't.
Ellis is planning to put a sf spin on it, from the sound of things. And won't be tied down by the old continuity.
...and most of it ended up in Exiles a few months back, too, according to people who read that.
I think he's reinventing rather than continuing. No direct links to previous continuity.
Which is fine (IMO) for stuff like Spitfire and Nightmask, which never really found its feet. But I liked a lot of the stuff that was done with Psi-Force and Justice, so I'm hoping they don't throw away the fun bits along with the rest...

I mean I know the Starbrand crossed over to mainstream Marvel back in the '90s and Justice ended up in the 2099 storylines as Lost Prophet.
