Although Marvel’s upcoming Generations limited series had much mystery surrounding it for some time – and it still does, for the most part – more details are slowly but surely coming to light. What we do know is that different versions of your favorite heroes will be fighting side by side, namely duos such as Wolverines Logan and X-23, and Thors Odinson and Jane Foster. But what we don’t know is how these characters are able to join forces or what the overall threat will be.
And despite it being quite vague and spoiler free, perhaps you’ll appreciate this synopsis by way of Marvel themselves:
Once upon a time, a kid from New York City picked up a shield and charged into battle…A prodigal son lifted a sacred hammer and proved himself worthy…And an arrogant genius forged an armor that would harness his true potential. Together, they became some of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and ushered in the age of marvels! Today, Marvel Comics is proud to present an exciting new series, done in the mighty Marvel manner uniting Marvel’s iconic heroes with their modern-day torchbearers for a fun and fast-paced adventure fans have been waiting for! This August, prepare for Marvel’s GENERATIONS!
