The Modern Age of comic books starts from the year 1992. After it was Copper Age (1984-1991), which is mostly counted to Modern Age. Mid 1980s was the time of crossovers and tie-ins. Marvel Secret Wars, DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths and Invasion were big hit. It led to rise of collected editions, and trade paperbacks and hardcovers came very popular. Same story can be sold for readers many times!
New superheroes were born, and 1990s were the time of Gambit, Deadpool and Cable. Intercompany crossovers came more popular, and blowed in 1996. Batman adventured with Judge Dredd, WildC.A.T.s with X-Men and Witchblade with allmost everybody who used to walk at night or wears cape.
