Wasn’t there a Dark Age after Bronze? The one where everyone was scowling the whole time and the stories were so tryhard edgy you could use a typical Youngblood issue as a letter opener?

Gets really weird when you start talking about comic book eras.
Golden Age - 1938 to 1956 (18 years)
Silver Age - 1956 to 1970 (14 years)
Bronze Age - 1970 to 1985 (15 years)
Here’s where it gets fun:
Modern Age - 1985 to Present (40 years)

Really the modern age should go from 1985 - 2011 for dc and marvel it would be 2018
Then the next agent would be new 52 for 15 years and fresh start for marvel.
Then rebirth for dc after that in 2016

There needs to be one era for 1985 up to the 1990s speculation crash, then another for that era, and a 3rd post speculation era, but I’m not sure how to break it out.

Yeah you make a good point. the 90s could have a fun name like the too many pouches era.
