the blob Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Folks have wondered when modern would end as it has now lasted like 27, 28 or more years.. Well, with comic publishing taking a break for a bit it seems like we're here. So what's the next age? Postcovid? PostDiamind?

Keys_Collector Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Post-Rona In all seriousness, who originally made the distinction for what years the ages would span and when was this decision made? It seems like this "modern age" is extending much longer then all of the other ages. Seems like the modern age should've ended between 5 and 10 years ago with the boom of variants and spec hunting.

With industry shuttered (not that we have much industry left) other than ventilator production and far fewer people driving right now, it may be just the opposite. At least for a minute. Satellite photos actually showed how the smog lifted and air quality improved in the areas of China under house arrest. divad and Keys_Collector 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark88 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Just waiting for Cgc to designate next pedigree 'Quarantine' since geezer collectors were self-isolating in their basements so had time to dig thru all the boxes at the VERY back of storage to find some misfiled GA, SA gems.

I think what we currently consider the Modern Age will be broken down into a few ages. At the very least, the launch of DC's New 52 was close enough to Marvel Now and the relaunch of Valiant that 2011-2012 is a cusp between ages. Also, was going to start a thread on this very topic but someone beat me to it. Keys_Collector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
