Still "New 52" era?
I noticed that current titles are still being placed into Category:New 52, which AFAICT is on the basis of this template (called from DC Database:Comic Template). It feels odd to see Rebirth titles like Dark Nights: Metal being categorized as "New 52", to say nothing of post-Metal titles like Sideways or The Curse of Brimstone that never existed during the actual "New 52".

Are the titles that were reorganized under the DC Rebirth banner still considered a continuation of the same "New 52 Era", or since August 2016 have we been in the "Rebirth Era"?

If Rebirth didn't signal the start of a new era, and still continues the era that began in 2011 with the launch of the New 52, does it make sense to continue calling it the "New 52 Era", when it encompasses not only the New 52, but also Rebirth and (now) the New Age of Heroes? Or is there a more all-encompassing name that we could apply? ("Prime Era", perhaps, since the shared reality for all these periods is the Multiverse that's home to Prime Earth?)

Just sort of thinking out loud, since like I said it seems odd to still see the "New 52" label being applied to new comics. -- FeRDNYC (talk) 05:45, October 10, 2018 (UTC)
