* ''[[Spawn]]'' had a dork age after he killed his former boss Malebolgia. He teamed up with demons Ab and Zab, a [[Catchphrase Spouting Duo]], and fought vampires and British cannibals. Fortunately, it ended after he returned to Hell and lost his status as king.▼

▲* ''[[Spawn]]'' had a dork age after he killed his former boss Malebolgia. He teamed up with demons Ab and Zab
* ''Zé Carioca'', a Brazilian comic series based on the character Jose Carioca (from the Disney film ''[[Saludos Amigos]]'') suffered from a [[Dork Age]] when they just took [[Donald Duck]] and Mickey Mouse stories that hadn't been released in Brazil and replaced the main characters with Jose. It didn't work very well.
** They did something similar in Europe after the American material was running out, with the European artists taking American stories and switching the characters around.
* Parodied in an issue of ''[[Planetary]]'', where a superhero who went through a [[Darker and Edgier]] Dork Age during [[The Dark Age of Comic Books]] blames the resident [[Hellblazer
* Deconstructed by ''[[JLA-Avengers]]''. The heroes have had their two earths and timelines fused, and the entire cosmos keeps warping as a result. When they finally meet the Gamemaster, a cosmic being who was nearly killed by the other organizer of the event that led to the universes fusing, Krona, he tells them to stop Krona, which would separate the worlds and put the timelines back to normal.

The Dork Ages end up sticking out more than anything else; about half the examples on this page are seen. The most notable becomes [[Green Lantern|Hal Jordan]] -- at the time of the comic's writing, he had gone crazy, killed off all the other Lanterns, tried to destroy and remake the universe, died, and become the host for [[The Spectre]]. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|And yet, when they debate, he decides to restore the old time]].

** This, arguably, may not count as [[Dork Age]] as it hasn't ended yet. While many fans of the films consider the comics horrendous, comic writers themselves are completely happy to continue the trends if the 2009 and 2010 entries into the series (of both ''[[Alien|Aliens]]'' and ''[[Alien vs. Predator|Aliens vs. Predator]]'') are any indication. Being a cross-media franchise, however, makes the [[Dork Age|dorkageness]] difficult to measure, as some examples in some media may avert the trope and others may play it straight.
