Xtreme age is decent. That was the prevailing theme of those years.But I don't think what came after really had enough to base a whole era name after.I think maybe we could just use decades.2000s comics vs 2010s comics vs 2020s comics
any reason why after the bronze age they went with modern age instead of copper or iron or some other metal?
>>151805762Because it only during what was then the modern age that they came up with these classifications and that's why there's never been a consensus on how to define the era once it passed.
>>151805907No, the terms started in the 60s during the silver agehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Age_of_Comic_Books#Origin_of_the_term
>>151805919I see, they ran out of Olympic medals, how short-sighted of them.
We are in the Iron age. The age of heroes was when comic artists/writers had the most celebrity.
>>151806839cool rocks!
>>151805123Copper/Xtreme is the greatest age in my opinion

>>151809336Atomic Age is often lumped into the Golden Age because, despite moving away from superheroes, sales-wise it was indeed golden age

>>151805123wait wouldn't Gwen's death be Silver age since that's considered its exact end?
>>151805123Man its wild that despite the naming conventions all of the best comic runs happened between like 78 and 89.Like the mid 70s had some good stuff but it was mostly laying the post-silver age groundwork which the 80s really capitalized on.
