Bronze Age for a high majority as far as I’m concerned. The 90’s had amazing artists. Image, Valiant, and Darkhorse comics were pretty good as well. Too bad about George Perez, I appreciated his work.
It must feel great to be Carver, imagine being able feel the joy of discovering comics again and again every week.

Modern age sucks donkey balls! Retread after retread after retread.
Retread of what? Watchmen, Dark Knight Returns, Swamp Thing, Doom Patrol, Sandman. All the classics, made in the 80's and 90's.
Plus the juggernaut Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came then. And Groo the Wanderer. And Usagi Yojimbo! And Cerebus the Aardvark.
The originals by Tom King or Scott Snyder or that ******* Geoff Johns don't hold a candle to the greats. NOT.A.CANDLE.

I grew up in with Byrne's Man of Steel and Marvel's Transformers, but I was able to read a stack of pre crisis comics at the dentist office, and he actually let me borrow some to take home (I always returned them, but I don't think he cared).
People complain about woke now, but looking back they were just as bad in their way. Except instead of woke, they were... poppy. All these bs pop culture references. Soap opera crap, MTV references, movies references. Really makes them feel incredibly dated now.
90's comics seemed to move away from that a bit, though they were still there. But there was more of a polished professionalism to them, less of the rough around the edges nerding out on whatever the writer wants, more of a focus on solid story telling.
