I don't like the "New 52 era" and "Rebirth era" names, and I think they'll eventually die. I think Post-Flashpoint is a better term.

They can't be eras used by the comic industry at large, anyway, because they only affect DC, and Rebirth is only a relaunch.

Why the Copper Age is a thing, by the way? What makes it different from the Bronze Age? I had never heard of that term before reading it on this Wiki.

Anyway, "Modern Age" is a term with an expiration date. Once it isn't concurrent, it can't be modern.

My personal, nobody-else-cares chronology is Golden Age (1938-1956), Silver Age (1956-1971), Bronze Age (1971-1985), Iron/Dark Age (1985-2001), Mercury Age (2001-2011) and only-for-now "Modern" Age (2011-?)

("2001? Why 2001?" To be honest, because Superman bias. In 2001 DC made the first real attempt to ditch the "Man of Steel" origin and abandon Superman's John Byrne interpretation for good after fifteen years. I guess it isn't a special year otherwise, although if I remember correctly, JMS's Spider-Man run and Grant Morrison's X-Men run also started out in 2001. "Okay, and why 'Mercury'?" Because a Superman fansite used that term and I liked it)
