As the largest Comic Book Price Guide, we are taking the responsibility to name the comic ages. The last age to have an accepted name is the Modern age beginning in 1/1992 with the formation of Image Comics. That signaled a departure from the past with artists owning their properties. After 29 years it's time to divide the ages into more manageable time frames.
Dates we think are important to signal the end of this age
1998 Blade Movie (Some view this as the first Marvel movie)
1999 IDW is founded (first book published in 2002)
2000 Dark Horse Presents ends 14-year run
2000 Marvel's Ultimate Spiderman begins
2003 Image's Walking Dead and Invincible begin
2005 Batman Begins Movie (starts trilogy)
2007 Marvel's Digital Comics Unlimited launched
2008 Iron Man Movie (1st Marvel Studios Movie, Kevin Feige produced)
2011 DC's New 52 Begins
So what should the age that begins in January 1992 and ends in _____ be named?
- Image Age
- Artist Age
- Chromium Age
- New Age
- Variant Age
- Steel Age
These are the suggestions we have. If you don't like these please, post a suggestion. There is no compensation if we use a name you suggest other than the praise of countless fans who want the Modern age to be less than 29 years! Tell all your collector friends so that we can get a broad range of opinions.
Thanks,
Ron

Steel Age. To go with all the steel/faux steel covers and names.
