What do we call the next "Age" in comics?

Limelantern · 06-28-2009, 12:00 AM

If the 40's were the "Golden Age" and the 60's and 70's were the "Silver Age" 80's were the "Bronze Age," What comes next? I guess the 90's would be the Iron Age, but what is after that?

Copper, Tin, and Brass Ages?

Starting out as a Marvel fan, I never heard much about this metal age thing until I began reading DC years later.

Colonel Xonic · 06-28-2009, 12:01 AM

I vote Platinum age!

W.West · 06-28-2009, 12:02 AM

They'll call this current age Silver pt. 2. lol

Iggy · 06-28-2009, 12:05 AM

I think we can call this age anything, not until at least 10yrs from now. And I would say that the 90's were the gimmick age

Limelantern · 06-28-2009, 12:05 AM

Chrome Age? It's like silver, but really, it's just a pale imitation of a much more valuable material.

Knuckles · 06-28-2009, 01:15 AM

i thought 90s was considered the modern age

Thats becasue Marvel didn't really start out until the Silver Age had already begun.

Prime · 06-28-2009, 04:11 AM

Copper Age? Worse than bronze...

Would you still call it the modern age 15 years from now? That would sound kinda strange calling something from almost 30 years ago the "modern" age.

Prime · 06-28-2009, 04:20 AM

Well the 90s will probably become known as the Dark Age lol. I mean Death of Superman, Knightfall, Emerald Twilight, and on Newsarama people had some serious hate for that Clone Saga stuff in Spider-Man.

Parrylakks · 06-28-2009, 04:24 AM

Dark Age of comics... heh... I like that.

So it would go Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age, Dark Age, Chrome Age... yeah... that works... lets roll with that.

supposedly we're post-modern

i can't remember what class(es) i had that said this

Colonel Xonic · 06-28-2009, 05:11 AM

You took comic year class?

Agent Purple · 06-28-2009, 05:20 AM

It'll be called the Iron Pyrite Age, because while the surface is shiny, the interior is crud (goddamn you and your Dark Reign, Marvel!!!).

I like this, it has my vote.

Andrew NDB · 06-28-2009, 06:29 AM

The "next" age? We will always be in the "Modern Age" of comics. We just have to reclassify passing decades.

Bruce Castle · 06-28-2009, 08:32 AM

Well, in Morrison's Marvel Boy, which came out in 2000, it made the statement that comics are cyclical, and that comics today are very similar to the golden age.

But that was nine years ago. Are we in the New Silver Age now?

Yeah. Chrome Age fits very good.

The New Age, duuuude.

Let me get another caucasian, Johnny.

How about the aluminum can age? Shiny and pretty on the outside but lacking substance and hollow on the inside.

06-28-2009, 07:40 PM

and you can recycle it.

Sylent_Asassin · 06-28-2009, 07:45 PM

...and there have been far too many recyeled stories over the years, that's for sure.

Colonel Xonic · 06-28-2009, 07:45 PM

LoL and the winner is...-
