Collection: MODERN-DARK AGE (1985-2004)

The beginning of the MODERN-DARK AGE (1985-2004) of comic books, like the classic Modern Age, is largely debated by enthusiasts.  For the purposes of organization, this site uses the conclusion of the Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars #12 in May, 1985 and the beginning of Crisis on Infinite Earths #1 in May, 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.
