My memory of the MIB "true life" stories were that these visitors were not government but more akin to aliens themselves. I was unaware that there were comics depicting them as government agents.

Personally, I think the "MIB are aliens" angle would make a better horror movie.

Like with most conspiracy theories there are a plethora of variations. Sometimes it's a government agency with varying levels of autonomy from the rest of the government Sometimes it's aliens.

That was my impression, too. I read pretty much every single book about UFOs from my local library in the late 80s/early 90s. The MIB definitely did not strike me as a comedy duo. I remember being actually kind of surprised by the concept of the movie when I first heard about it.
