Suspended Animation Review
Marvel: The Lost Generation, #’s 1-12, published by Marvel Comics, 32 pages, $2.99.
Nearly ten years ago, Marvel Comics marketed a 12-issue comic book series entitled Marvel: The Lost Generation. I passed it by.
A week ago, I netted all 12 issues on Ebay for a song...., and found out they were worth the original cover price.
Set in the Marvel Universe’s past, before the origin of the Fantastic Four took place, the story is the brainchild of long-time comics pro John Byrne, who wrote and drew the series. TLG takes several characters previously seen in Marvel stories, throws them in with quite a few dreamt up by Byrne, and gives readers a tale chock-full of well-done characterization and slam-bang superhero action.
