* ''[[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.)
* ''[[Starman (Comic Bookcomics)|Starman]]'', which started out as a spinoff of ''[[Zero Hour]]'' but surpassed its originator in terms of quality. A thorough exploration of the [[Legacy Character]] concept that delved into DC's rich history like few comics before it and helped lead the way to the [[Modern Age]].
* 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.
