The Modern Age is the current age, the one we're in right now (we're talking about comic books, here). Ages don't get named until they're gone, so the present age is always Modern; thus, in five to ten years, we'll probably have to change the name of this entry. |

* [[Kingdom Come]]: a harsh [[Deconstruction]] of the Dark Age and the [[Nineties Anti-Hero]] archetype. As good a starting point for the modern age as any other, set into motion many of trends such as [[Reconstruction]], [[Lighter and Softer]], and [[George Lucas Throwback]], to earlier ages, and comics that you need to purchase entire companion books in order to understand every reference. It was also a key factor in the declining popularity of the [[Nineties Anti-Hero]] in favor of more traditional Silver Age archetypes. |

* Grant Morrison's ''[[Justice League of America|JLA]]'', which brought back the bright, shiny heroes in huge, epic plots. Began in 1997, one year after [[Kingdom Come]], and helped to [[Trope Codifier|Codify]] many of the concepts and trends introduced by [[Kingdom Come]], and did more to [[Reconstruction|Reconstruct]] the Main DCU than any other series. |
