While DCComics scrapped 'Generation 5' or '5G,' a line-wide shakeup that would see its heroes replaced by a younger generation, acclaimed artist 1moreGaryFrank has shared details on original plans for some of the cover art for the initiative.
Lauded comic artist Gary Frank is revealing some interesting details on DC's forgone 5G plans. Frank created five interconnected covers for a series of one-shots meant to detail the history of the DC Universe and introduce "Generation Five" or"5G" as it was internally referred to. A recent response by Frank on Twitter shed some light on the original plans for the covers before a massive change at DC occurred.
Exact details behind the 5G Initiative have slowly come to light as time has gone on. Originally intended to follow Dark Knights: Death Metal, the push was meant to age the heroes of the DC Universe and replace them with a younger generation. The plan was hinted at in the end of Doomsday Clock, and DC seemed committed to the idea even after 5G architect and co-publisher Dan Didio left DC Comics.
— Gary Frank🥃🐠 January 11, 2022 The Gary Frank covers were repurposed for a series of one-shots in December 2020 under the Dark Knights: Death Metal branding, though the contents had nothing to do with the covers. The rapid change speaks to the tumultuous time it was for DC amid company shake-ups and last-minute course corrections. While 5G was replaced with Infinite Frontier, pieces of the original plan remained in place.
While 5G as it was originally envisioned never saw the light of day, it's interesting to hear from creators like Gary Frank on how quickly DC adjusted their plans behind the scenes.Source: Gary Frank/Twitter .item-num::after { content: '/ '; } Share Share Tweet Email 0 Comment Wonder Woman's Forgotten Superpower Would End Captain Marvel in Seconds Related Topics About The Author Justin Epps Justin Epps is either a professional amateur or an amateurish professional depending on who you ask.
