Whichever decade you first had to get into comics, so it varies. Nostalgia is powerful.

For me, it's the 90s.

For beatboks, the 50s

I'd agree with this. The good storylines started in the laten70s (77/78) and went to shite at about 92.

Its the era that Wolfman brought true characterisation to comics characters with the new Teen Titans and Vigilante. The era that O'Neil was writing stories analysing society (Hal and Ollie's trek across America and the social implications), the eta that Roy Thomas was doing his continuity blend retconning that brought character inconsistencies together and explained them.

Basically the 80's is when comics grew up and got some depth. They moved past the simple stories that had been limited by the comics code and created character depth without making them a bad influence on the growing youth

Your right about the era I got into comics. While I loved them back then the stories were very simplistic. The 40s comics that I would buy from the local book exchange were all anthology titles where stories were told in like 8 pages or so. The Silver age reboot had very childish stories due to the comics code that was brought in after the movement that ended the GA. So to keep them from being a dark influence on children they were simple. Great for a kid but not the best stories. The 60s and 70s got more outlandish with Superman gaining a power every issue as needed to deal with this and that.

And yes, good post, I agree.

This title is a question that has come up many times over the last 15+ years at KMC. I think it's a little more complicated than just answering with a single decade.

For instance, what many think was 80's runs started in the '70s,
Miller started Daredevil with issue 158 in 79, Claremont's X men run was well underway in by 1980, and in fact, the Death of Dark Phoenix in case 137 whilst being published in September 1980 was the culmination of a 70's plot.

Neal Adams Batman has never been beaten. This was a 70's run, Iron Man Demon in a Bottle was 1979. So what was going on then? At Marvel, Jim Shooter had implemented substantial quality control, and the shitty comics from both Marvel and DC were reducing in direct result to this IMHO. In Britain, Comics had already started a revolution which was spreading across the pond. The UK had 2000AD and Action Comic, not Action Comics guys. Action was withdrawn from sale after less than a year due to violence. People think Moore started the comics revolution; I would argue Pat Mills did in the UK, and Neal Adams Batman did in the US. Add in Claremont, Miller, Dave Gibbons, Shooter and many others, and you have something serious going on as the '70s finished. America and the UK had embraced Clint Eastwoodesque anti-heroes from Wolverines First appearance in 74 to Dredd's in 77 the characters were changing.

Then came Moore and everything he touched from 1980-86 was unique for comics, I have his run on Warrior and 2000AD both bought as a kid. I have his run in Captain Britain UK... But whilst he was special would he have been able to do what he did without Mills breaking ground? Now we get onto Gaiman, and the '80s, Gaiman started writing in 86 for 2000 AD, but his best work is Sandman, always considered an 80's comic and indeed it began in November 88, but in many ways, it is an early 90's comic. I remember being a post-grad student in London and picking up issue 1. It blew me away, and at this time Moore was bringing to an end Miracle/Marvelman post-Watchmen.

The '90s were not as bad as people remember, the giant crossovers and extended stories popular in the '80s continued. The Miniseries like Marvels and Kingdom Come looked at familiar characters in unfamiliar ways. Marvels visual third person/everyman view of the Marvel Universe is Precious, and the '90s built on the Independents and creator-owned properties we started to see at the end of the '80s. Valiant, Eclipse, Defiant all offered something, and it wasn't all Rob Liefields bad drawing and low-quality plots. Most of Morrisons best work was in the '90s IMHO. Warren Ellis was fresh. The '00s were glossy even the covers; People bang on about comics being woke now. I honestly don't know what that means. X0 was replaced by a girl Randy Cartier, who is black. This is 1993. Sandman and Miracleman have more wokeness than any other comics ever. Winter is Greta Thunberg on steroids, and Miraclewoman will always be the dominant there. So I don't truly get the criticism of now tbh, come at me!

The 80's and 90's for me. Those were the most lurative years for comic book companies based on inflation scaling percentages. John Byrne, and Neal Adams of the the 70's to 80's led the charge. You had new up and coming companies like Image and Valiant (Dark Horse to a lesser extent) challenging the Big Two for market share percentages, which were led by the best artists in history up to that point. Jim Lee, Todd McFarlane, Dale Keone, Marc Sylvestri, Ron Lim, Brett Booth, Erik Larsen, Mark Bagley, etc. These guys raised the bar by which comics should look like.

Having come up in that era, I agree... To a point.

In terms of the writing, I think Byrne Superman beat the pants off of Pre-Crisis fare. The writing matured greatly during this era.

As far as the overall "scene" goes, comic book stores were booming everywhere, Indies were in the mainstream, it was essentially the Attitude Era of the comic book reader. Just about EVERYONE was into them, kids milling about, cleaning out their files, angry parents demanding refunds for their stupid kids 30 dollar purchases. It was great.

The combo comic-video game shops were even better. They let you "demo" a game literally all day long, we'd treat it like a free to play arcade.



It was a fun era for a kid, in the same way visiting a circus is fun.


On the other hand, it was death for the comic industry, as this era of gimmicks, skyrocketing cover prices, and "discount files" left a VERY bad taste in everyones mouth when they realized they'd been had.

A lot of gems came from this era, so yeah.


Some of the real heavy hitters came before, like Gaiman's Sandman, but 2k and up was the most consistently good.

I agree with Whirly and Dark here tbh.

We tend to romanticize the past. Often, we remember the best arcs of any decade and forget the garbage that came along with it. I don't know that there really is a best decade. I guarantee kids will remember the 2010's fondly once we enter 2030. It only seems "worse" because all the bad stuff is still fresh on our minds. The 10's had some good stories like any other decade, and time will eventually pare the '10s down to its gems as well.

Batman exists in seven separate books doing seven separate jobs simultaneously. How? DC is a strange place. In the same month he'll be in space on one title, a separate reality in another and in Gotham in a third. All released the same month. Terrible world building and continuity

Batman has like 7 or 8 books. Then the rest of DC is the JL7 and their junior versions. So it still amounts to the same shit. Zero ****ing variety. Almost the entirety of DC revolves around the core 7 of one team

He's the only competent "street leveler" they've got... everyone else is trash or hasn't had enough appearances to matter.

StiltmanFTW
Of course, you can say it's their fault other streets don't have enough appearances and you'd be right.


DC never liked gambling much, as evident both in comics and on the big screen. They tend to rely on the world's finest duo too often. Bats and Supes can't solve all of DC's problems for them.

Some of DC's best stories were Vertigo stuff. Beats Marvel equivilents in most cases.

Even something like 90's Starman was very unique, and has legendary status because of it.

i think each era has plenty of good and plenty of bad. sounds like a cop out but i've been following since the 70's and have read a lot of 60's stuff. i think a fair way to judge might be to list the best and worst arcs of each era. it would be challenging, but it would make for an amazing trip down memory lane and probably introduce a lot of people to some stories/arcs they've never heard of. and it would be fun. thumb up

They also have characters the are the physical embodiment of abstract ideas like Eternity and Chaos. The more diverse the line up of characters the more diverse

Even Asian characters at Marvel tend to actually matter.

DC stay pushing tokens and docile heroes of color which I hate. Like seriously only black readers I know who seem to like Cyborg are the African delegation here. Like seriously he's a token character he should have been allowed to be created. There's reasons why his sales were shit and always shit. He never matter at the Leauge or Titans. Hell pre-52 the most important thing he did was turn into a planet and train Young Justice. Meanwhile Falcon, Luke Cage, Black Panther, Storm and Monica Rambeau actually were doing shit leading teams, having multiple runs their choices effected the actually overall universe or just earth. Meanwhile Cyborg becomes the driving Miss Daisy at DC.

Sandman is one of the best comic runs in history. DC's abstracts actually have long runs and are interesting. I have yet to see Marvel tell stories on that level. Lucifer, Swamp Thing, Endless, Sandman, Death, etc... All great runs.

Dark Reign had enjoyable parts, but mentioning it over Annihilation for the 00's in Marvel seems criminal. Even the tie-ins for Annihilation were great, with even the weaker ones being 8/10 or so. And it gave us a rare sequel that was actually good, with Conquest and it's tie-ins in the same decade. And it required no real setup before reading either, so it's great for new readers. It was basically everything you could ask for in an event.

Plus, Dark Reign loses points for teasing me with one of my dreams: Moonstone permanently replacing Carol. Let's face it, Moonstone is 800 million times more interesting than Danvers.

A-Force was terrible and I've thought about re-reading X-Women on my next 'shroom or LSD trip. It might actually make sense then.

I clipped the pic since it stretches my page, but thumb up. That scene in Endgame was ridiculous because it undermined their whole point about representation, and showed they didn't really understand the issue at all.

They should have integrated the women into the story organically from the start, rather than disappearing, literally, ALL OF THEM. Then they wouldn't need a poorly executed scene that completely breaks the narrative, and kills the integrity of the heroes too. Every woman suddenly finds a free moment, and totally abandons their male teammates? Every male hero decides to ignore their female teammates during a pretty important skirmish, with not a single one jumping in to help Carol? They all have the same goal and are fighting the same enemy. Why would this moment ever happen in a battle like that?

That's not what inclusivity is. They were supposed to work together, like ****ing heroes would. Not randomly segregate by gender. Clumsy AF writing.

Yeah, it wasn't fine literature but the Second Coming-era was a wild ride. It was a great, backs-against-the-wall action thriller: high stakes, big plot, badass fights, scary villains, etc. It successfully juggled one of the largest X-casts in history too. Bastion, The Purifiers, Master Mold--At one point, all the mutants were in a dogfight against a city-wide invasion of Nimrod clones, while Earth's other heroes were stuck outside of a forcefield unable to help. That shit was badass. It kept you on the edge of your seat. It may seem weird to people now, since we know what happens, but back then it was tense since so few mutants were left. You didn't really know who would make it out alive, or without getting ****ed up. The body count was pretty outrageous if we factor in all the Post M-Day stuff.

That era also gave us X-Force, which led to Uncanny X-Force(the Remender one), and Uncanny Avengers. Best Deadpool ever. Best Deathlok ever. Best Fantomex ever. Best Archangel ever also turned out to be the best Apocalypse ever(Sorry En Sabah Nur fans, Warren is better. Fact.). Incredible use of multiple AoA characters. Great Wolverine and Psylocke. Incredible X-23. I could go on, but you get it.

Bentley should be happy, as those also include the best Kang ever.

It was a gift that kept on giving. thumb up

It was a great, backs-against-the-wall action thriller: high stakes, big plot, badass fights, scary villains, etc. It successfully juggled one of the largest X-casts in history too. Bastion, The Purifiers, Master Mold--At one point, all the mutants were in a dogfight against a city-wide invasion of Nimrod clones, while Earth's other heroes were stuck outside of a forcefield unable to help. That shit was badass. It kept you on the edge of your seat. It may seem weird to people now, since we know what happens, but back then it was tense since so few mutants were left. You didn't really know who would make it out alive, or without getting ****ed up. The body count was pretty outrageous if we factor in all the Post M-Day stuff.

That era also gave us X-Force, which led to Uncanny X-Force(the Remender one), and Uncanny Avengers. Best Deadpool ever. Best Deathlok ever. Best Fantomex ever. Best Archangel ever also turned out to be the best Apocalypse ever(Sorry En Sabah Nur fans, Warren is better. Fact.). Incredible use of multiple AoA characters. Great Wolverine and Psylocke. Incredible X-23. I could go on, but you get it.

Bentley should be happy, as those also include the best Kang ever.

It was a gift that kept on giving. thumb up

It was one of the best Marvel events ever imo. thumb up

Don't let cdtm's tendrils take hold of you. They distort perception to an absurd degree.
Yup, it was the very first comic I read and I followed it month by month in 2010. It wasn't easy at that time but what a fun ride that was.

I was x men fan first which started my comic reading.
