Comic Book Ages: Time to Define 1986---> & Set new 'Modern Age' era start: Yes??

[TheFerg714]

I think it's really hard to determine dates encompassing all comic book publishers. It's easier to separate DC from Marvel or any other publishing company IMO.

For Marvel, I like to go with these dates in mind:

1939-1961 - Golden age - Starting with the first comic by Marvel
1961-1973 - Silver age - Starting with the creation of fantastic Four
1973-1984 - Bronze age - Starting with the death of Gwen Stacy and the very first "Event" (Avengers/Defenders War)
1984-1992 - Copper age - Starting with Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars
1992-2000 - Modern age - Starting with the aftermath of Infinity Gauntlet and the Infinity War event
2000-2010 - Millennium age - No particular reason for starting at 2000... but a lot happen between 2000-2010 as mentioned by TheFerg714
2010-2016 - Heroic age - Starting with "The Heroic Age"
2016- Now - Current/New age - Aftermath of "Secret Wars", starting with All-New, All-Different Marvel

Of course, DC Comics will have other dates, based on their own Crisis/Reboot

I think I would actually lump from AvX to now in the same 'age.'

Except as evident by how the current Ages are done the Industry isn't going to do it that way.
