Curious to see what this modern age is called when it's not the modern age anymo

[plasticide-migration]

If it were up to CGC, it'd already be the "Wizard Age".

 

Ask Moondog about, it was his account I read. He was there in 1999 when CGC floated that idea to a room full of retailers.

I've already sent Bob Overstreet a certified letter pronuncing this as "The Donkey Punch Age." Only twenty years and then it's all locked up.

"pronuncing"...?

 

Where did you graduate college, here ?

 

[RockMyAmadeus]

How about we just call 'em "the 2000's"...?

 

Cause, in 2094, our great, great grandkids are not going to have any patience with 20-25 silly metallic name periods lasting 5 years or so...

 

...if comic books...nay, the world...still exists by then...

I'm sorry, did you say 'nay'?

Here's what I think.

 

Copper Age (1980ish-1992) - Just a bunch of random stories introduction of several small characters (many of which never made it because they're all rip-offs) aka Beta Ray Bill, Dazzler) and a few significant ones (War Machine, Deadpool)

Chromium Age (1993-2000) - Gimmicks

 

I never understood why people continue to ignore Spider-man #1, the BIGGEST gimmick/multiple covers/retailer variants event ever, and move the date to some insane 1993 level, which ignores ALL of the main gimmicks/variant covers from 1990-92. Not to mention the Valiant Universe started in 1990.

 

1993-95 was the endgame fallout of that fad.

i dunno what bob overstreet says, but modern needs to move back to 1989 or 1990 or so.

That senile old crackhead has allowed dealers to move the BA into 1985, and the SA into 1973, so I think his opinion is pretty much inconsequential.

[Jeffro.]

The "I don't give a flying anymore" age?

I can't fathom the Silver Age going past Conan.

Trust me, you don't want me to start listing the BA characters who debuted from 1970-73, that OS and their dealer coalition have tried to shoehorn into SA.

I say we just call it..."Tim".

I am beginning to lean to that way of thinking now, especially from the 1970`s and up

just call the 1970`s the 70`s, the 1980`s the 80`s,1990`s the 90`s and so on.
