1998-2011: Event/Digital Coloring Age
2011-present: Synergy/MCU/DCEU Age

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?
>>
>>151805762
Because 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.

No, the terms started in the 60s during the silver age

I 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.

Copper/Xtreme is the greatest age in my opinion

Platinum Age (1892-1937)
>Printing images gets cheaper, comics spread across newsstands
Golden Age (1938-1947)
>Dawn of the superhero
Atomic Age (1948-1955)
>Comics become more mature, sparking CCA
Silver Age (1956-1969)
>Resurgence of the superhero, but now more realistic with complex flaws
Bronze Age (1970-1985)
>Direct market and LCS boom shift how comics are sold and to whom, easing of CCA restrictions, surge of anti-hero characters, British invasion
Lead Age (1986-1997)
>multi-issue crossovers sometimes lasting years, tie-in events disrupting ongoing stories, polybags and alternate covers, holo-foil cards and other collectable crap added in, all leading to a collector bubble burst that tanks the industry
Iron Age (1998-2010)
>Prioritzing multi-media projects over comics
Steal (sic) Age (2011-Current)
>IP farms
>>
>>151809336
Atomic Age is often lumped into the Golden Age because, despite moving away from superheroes, sales-wise it was indeed golden age

>mixing 1985-1989 stuff WITH IMAGE COMICS BOOKS BOOM AND EXTREME ERA

wait wouldn't Gwen's death be Silver age since that's considered its exact end?
>>
>>151805123
Man 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.
