'''The Iron Age of Comic Books''' is a different interpretation of comic history that sees the [[The Dark Age of Comic Books]] and [[The Modern Age of Comic Books]] as one period. This age can be defined with its [[Retcon]]s, [[Re Boot|Reboots]], [[Retool]]s and [[Alternate Universe|AlternateUniverses]]s that were deemed necessary after about fifty years of accumulated continuity threatening to create a [[Continuity Lock Out]] to new readers.
 
[[The DCU]] released [[Crisis on Infinite Earths]] in 1985, a [[Crisis Crossover]] that created the [[Post-Crisis]] universe that removed [[The Silver Age of Comic Books|the Silver Age's]] [[Shoo Out the Clowns|excesses]], in an attempt to make the stories more serious and plausible now given the opportunity to do so. [[Jim Shooter]] tried to mirror a move to realistic seriousness in [[Marvel Comics]] with [[The New Universe]] imprint, but this did not have good critical reaction at the time and thus Marvel would have to try again later, but they did put in their effort, the [[New Mutants]], as a part of the cultural atmosphere of the time, but this was not nearly as ground breaking of an effort as [[The New Universe]] was.
