Collection: MODERN-DARK AGE (1985-2004)

The beginning of the MODERN-DARK AGE of comic books, like the classic Modern Age, is largely debated by comic book enthusiasts.  For the purpose of organization, this site uses the conclusion of the Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars #12 in April, 1985 and the beginning of Crisis on Infinite Earths #1 also in April, 1985 as a beginning point.

There is also a lot of debate as to when the Modern-Dark Age concluded.  This site uses the beginning of the Avengers Dissembled storyline in Avengers #500 in 2004 as an ending date and the beginning of the Modern-Modern Age.
