Heroes Return #1: The Man Who Rebooted the World

"So in the midst of the last year that I think a lot of us would like to forget, or that we’re all looking to move past in some way and get back to some semblance of life as we know it, that was all wrapped up in this. Like this job that I’ve loved that I’ve wanted since I was a kid that I love every day. That all kind of disappeared. So coming back to it was very much celebrating what I love about this job, what I love about comics, as a reader, as a writer, someone who feels very blessed to get to play in these sandboxes with these characters in these toys. That’s all wrapped up in this and I think that hopefully you can feel that on every page of this story. From me and from the amazing group of artists who I’m getting to work with across these eight books. But it’s very much a celebration – a joyful celebration of the power, the beauty, and the fun of comics." - Jason Aaron

The Squadron went home in an Avengers storyline which carried over into a one-shot called New World Order, which tried to double down on the JLA pastiche aspect of their nature by jettisoning hangers-on like Haywire who didn't have specific analogs.

I believe the Squadron we saw zombified in Marvel Zombies Supreme were clones developed by Project: PEGASUS. Honestly, it feels like some of the Marvel Zombies minis were either retconned out of the 616 continuity or never happened there at all, owing to the way they've never been spoken of since and/or involved characters portrayed differently than usual. (Ducky's Dozen comes to mind...)
