About the author
Brian Michael Bendis
4,417 books2,571 followersA comic book writer and erstwhile artist. He has won critical acclaim (including five Eisner Awards) and is one of the most successful writers working in mainstream comics. For over eight years Bendis’s books have consistently sat in the top five best sellers on the nationwide comic and graphic novel sales charts.
Though he started as a writer and artist of independent noir fiction series, he shot to stardom as a writer of Marvel Comics' superhero books, particularly Ultimate Spider-Man.
Bendis first entered the comic world with the "Jinx" line of crime comics in 1995. This line has spawned the graphic novels Goldfish, Fire, Jinx, Torso (with Marc Andreyko), and Total Sell Out. Bendis is writing the film version of Jinx for Universal Pictures with Oscar-winner Charlize Theron attached to star and produce.
Bendis’s other projects include the Harvey, Eisner, and Eagle Award-nominated Powers (with Michael Avon Oeming) originally from Image Comics, now published by Marvel's new creator-owned imprint Icon Comics, and the Hollywood tell-all Fortune and Glory from Oni Press, both of which received an "A" from Entertainment Weekly.
Bendis is one of the premiere architects of Marvel's "Ultimate" line: comics specifically created for the new generation of comic readers. He has written every issue of Ultimate Spider-Man since its best-selling launch, and has also written for Ultimate Fantastic Four and Ultimate X-Men, as well as every issue of Ultimate Marvel Team-Up, Ultimate Origin and Ultimate Six.
Brian is currently helming a renaissance for Marvel’s AVENGERS franchise by writing both New Avengers and Mighty Avengers along with the successful ‘event’ projects House Of M, Secret War, and this summer’s Secret Invasion.
He has also previously done work on Daredevil, Alias, and The Pulse.

Decent Generation one shot! This book also features the Next Avengers which was surprising to see, haven't seen those guys since the animated film!

3.5 stars
The art wasn't my favorite but I can get past that because it had it's moments.
This wasn't perfect but the highs were pretty damn high and lows were not so low.
Somehow (it's not explained at all really) Riri ends up several decades in the future. She runs into a version of Tony Stark that is 126 years old. Tony is now the Sorcerer Supreme (which.. okay? This is a very confusing concept for me since my Iron Dad has historically hated magic so much.) Anyway, he's accomplished the thing he's always wanted (and not gonna lie, I teared up a little) world peace and shared resources through out all of earth. Crime is at all time low around the earth, Tony spends all his time just preparing in case there's a new conflict but, by and large, there aren't any. It's amazing!
I got a lot of joy seeing Riri actually interact with live action Tony again. She actually reached out to hug him! There were several jokes about him being old and now that Steve is Steve again, can I get a comic where they just call each other old for 26 pages. Please! Again, not entirely sold on Bendis' version of Tony but I did enjoy their banter. Especially when Riri returned after being gone and A.I. Tony goes all Worried Dad on her. It's a bit closer to the relationship I've been wanting to see from them. Listen, years of Batfam have been great and I just want an Iron Fam since I lost Rhodey and we'll never see Lila Rhodes again. Wouldn't it be super cool to have a series with Tony, Riri and Pepper working together?
I'm still feeling out Riri Williams as a character. I think Bendis still has a lot to flesh out but I'm okay with what I've seen so far. I saw a lighter side of her in this book and by the end, it left me hopeful for more of her series.
The weak spot was the brief appearance of the Mighty Avengers. I just... really don't care about these super children. I like the concept of Franklin Richards but they just shifted him around so much I still have no clue where exactly he and Valeria went. Also, T'Challa's kid flirting with her was so unnecessary. I didn't need any of that.

The art changed a lot. Some great, some not so much. The story was wonderful and exciting though!

Well, the cover page is a bit misleading, but the story they gave was so much better than expected. I haven't read any other Generations yet, but this one isn't a team-up. At least, not like one you'd expect.
Ironheart is flung into the future, and as far as the comic will explain, there's no reason for it. There might be one, but it's the "how" is left unstated. It's about the "why" and the why is to give the future innovators a bit of hope for the future, namely Riri. Tony Stark is older. He's 126, and he's got the world in a much better place. With science! A very timely, uplifting story.
Also, gorgeous, A+ art.

It was alright.
I am usually very slow to warm up to the current „re- invention “ of classic heroes, no matter if on TV or in comics.
So I had zero expectations with this.
The art was really great, the story however.... felt a bit disjointed and confusing.

This was cute and all, but didn't really get me interested in the characters.
The art was pretty good, but the story was uninspired.

My first Tony-as-Sorcerer-Supreme story. Really loved Riri hugging Tony, that was sweet. I really love the Riri/Tony dynamic and I can't wait to see more.
