For even the most passive DC Comics readers, it certainly feels like the past year has been filled with a lot of events and big storylines. Whether it’s line-wide initiatives like “Death Metal” and “Future State,” or smaller-scale stories like “Endless Winter” or “Joker War,” there has been no shortage of stories trying to capture the magic of a great crossover event. Caught up in the midst of that is Generations, the scope and scale of which was reworked significantly since it was announced in February of 2020 (seemingly a decade ago). Initially set to be a miniseries that would kick off DC’s 5G initiative, the story has been retooled into a pair of one-shots, which serve as a unique stepping stone between “Future State” and next week’s Infinite Frontier #0. After the release of Generations: Shattered last month, the storyline is brought to a head in this week’s Generations: Forged, and it does so in a way that is plenty entertaining and largely enjoyable, even if it’s all a bit forgettable.
