Written by Roger Stern and John Byrne in 2000, Marvel: The Lost Generation was an attempt to answer the historical gap between the end of WWII to the first appearance of the Fantastic Four. Utilizing the idea that a secret skrull invasion had been thwarted by a hitherto unknown group of heroes dubbed 'The Front Line', the series looked at the period and how the Marvel Universe existed.
In many ways Marvel: The Lost Generation filled in the continuity issues that had been around since the debut of the FF. Stern and Byrne introduced heroes that were inspired and involved with the future MU, as well as interacting with those still active adventurers that had been around for some time.
I've done my best to capture the Front Line and the characters that were introduced and ultimately may still exist within the current Marvel Universe. In many cases Marvel: The Lost Generation predated such events like Secret Invasion and Civil War by either intentionally or unintentionally sewing the seeds of those events.
