Scholars are still debating whether the current period is post-postmodern or neo-contemporary.

Really the modern age should go from 1985 - 2011 for dc and marvel it would be 2018

Then the next agent would be new 52 for 15 years and fresh start for marvel.

Then rebirth for dc after that in 2016

There needs to be one era for 1985 up to the 1990s speculation crash, then another for that era, and a 3rd post speculation era, but I'm not sure how to break it out.

Yeah you make a good point. the 90s could have a fun name like the too many pouches era.
