Breaking Down DC's Generations Forged and The New Linearverse Two weeks ago, DC released Generations: Forged #1 from writers Dan Jurgens, Robert Venditti, and Andy Schmidt and a murderer's row of art talent hit the stands, and redefined the company's timeline and multiverse, establishing something called the Linearverse, where heroes age slowly, giving the opportunity for evolution over time and a single Earth where everything happened and every version of every character lived at some point. The story centered on early iterations of some heroes -- Booster Gold, Sinestro, Dr. Light, and other characters who are essentially their earliest versions. It's both simple and complicated, but the biggest part of the story was that it was fun.
