The 2000-2009 period was an insane for comics

Shame that today we dont have the same level of crazy and cool stuff happening
>Jim Lee on Batman
>Civil war and identity Crisis bringing millions of normies
>"Back to form" books like Ultimates ,GL, Jla, Punisher, etc
>Dark Horse SW, TWD, decent priced manga
When DC started to publish manga and an Image book became a record breaking tv show, I knew this was the best decade ever.

did I forgot anything? marvel knights and the good age of vertigo was 90s

>mfw i got into comics right as wwh hit

>mfw i was here for all the epic modern era shit

>tfw got into comics about 5 years ago after I saw Kick-Ass on tv
>been reading back issues since then until the last 6 months because comics were shit for a while

>Jim Lee on Batman
Bad
>Civil War and Identity Crisis bringing millions of normies
but they didn't, and the books were bad for the companies

Everything else you said was good though

That was a bretty good decade for comics.

mid-00's to late 00's was god-tier for DC as well.

>one of the best Superman eras ever between Morrison's ASS and Johns' AC
>Vertigo still going strong
>post-IC DC very good with Morrison's Batman run, Simone's WW run, Johns' JSA, Johns' GL, and more
>Alex Ross' Justice

I wouldn't be surprised if half the board started reading comics in 2003-2008

>Lee on Batman is bad
drove sales up through the roof tho

I think that sucess is sustained throughout the years.

well given that most of Sup Forums are millenials this would be a fair guess.

just to clarify "millennial" is anyone born after '82

Honestly I think it's one of the worst decades of comics ever. So much edgy editorially driven crap, events out the ass still, movie pandering even back with the fucking X-Men movies, never-ending hero vs hero drama, and so on.

See that comic about McDuffie trying to write JLA to see some of what I'm talking about.

There were some really high heights such as 52, but it seems like they were all things that editorial failed to stop. Editors have been the equivalent of movie executives coming in and ruining movies with their stupid ideas and focus test bullshit.

Avengers Disassembled and Identity Crisis were just devastatingly awful and comics have only now really recovered. Except Bendis right now is shitting out another hero vs hero decompressed murder porno, but at least it's not lighting up the charts.

To bad sales were shit compared to what they are today

You forgot 52. Which was better than anything you listed

>Honestly I think it's one of the worst decades of comics ever
Yeah, it was a fucking shitshow. I can only imagine the people looking back on it fondly because that's when they started reading.

Pic related and "Countdown was 52 done right" neatly sum up editorial of that era

Good indie era too
Fear Agent
Hickman's early work
Invicible
BPRD
Lemire's Top Shelf stuff

The big 2 imprints were doing good stuff too
Criminal
Lucifer
Good Hellblazer runs
100 Bullets
Fables
Scalped
The Authority and its characters

Which generation grew up reading better comics?

But Gen Z is none of those things

why are millennials a 15 year period but Gen Z only a 6 year period. Also gen z is way too young to characterize them as anything, and they'll probably be even worse.

But seriously fuck millenials, bunch of lazy dindus

>dindus
Just call them niggers, you pussy-ass bitch.

I started last spring!

The years change everytime i see one of these.

>why are millennials a 15 year period but Gen Z only a 6 year period

Because it's a bait image with false information.

>an Image book became a record breaking tv show
That sparked Image Comics' renaissance.

>Jim Lee Batman
Jeeze, that's when the first Jason Todd is alive scene happened!
>Civil War ... Identity Crisis
These days it's hard to remember how different those two stories were. That decade had some innovation.
>Ultimates, 'Lantern, JLA, Frank, (and don't forget X-Men)
This one's more a knock on how bad the late '90s were.
>StarWars, Pre-TV WD, Manga
The best part of those is how much they influenced everything else in comics. Also, newb manna.

Not the best decade ever but it was a good start for the new millenium. I give it four stars.

user, did the fact that none of the things on the Gen Z side being in anyway identifiable when none of them are over 18 not tip its hand?

Anyone being born today is still part of Gen Z.

... and now I feels the old.
