The Iron Age of Comic Books: Difference between revisions

* ''[[The Sandman]]'' Began in 1989, ended in 1996. One of the most successful and critically acclaimed comic series of [[The Nineties]].

* ''[[Transformers Generation 2]]'' actually took this time in its stride, further deepening the series mythos and taking full advantage of [[Anyone Can Die]]. It mostly failed due to the unrealistic sales expectations being placed upon the series. (It actually sold ''better'' than some titles that are considered quite successful.)

* Perhaps the best remembered [[Crisis Crossover]] of [[The Nineties]], the ''[[Age of Apocalypse]]'' event which had all X-men comics put on hold for several months so as to explore a dystopian alternate timeline where the X-men never existed.

** Possibly a [[Deconstruction]], because world fared [[Apocalypse How|exactly as well]] as you'd expect it to do under the rule of a superpowered psychopath. Also, AoA ''did'' make the difference between heroes and villains pretty clear.
