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. 👆

👍 Marvel features characters that cover every social demographic in stories. They also cover Gods, Celestials, Eternals, and cosmic beings. 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.

The 00s had good comics if you don't look at Marvel/DC. I fully enjoyed a lot of different series over Darkhorse, Valiant and others. It really is a question of perspective
even looking at dc and marvel it was a good era
marvel had dark reign and siege
dc had 52 and final crisis
Well, true. It was huge and lasted really long, Siege was basically an extension of it.
Plenty of awesome titles and plenty of ones we haven't even bothered to read.
Still, that was a great time for comic fans. KMC was really active and we were reading tons of books weekly back then.
Now, we're living in a wasteland... fighting a losing battle... even you, Parm, can't put every woke creature, SJW, 100 genders fanatic and sensitive snowflake in your concentration camps.
