Re: What Era Is Your Preferred Era in Comics?
Love Alan Moore's work but his deconstructions of superheroes in the 1980s more or less ended the Bronze Age's mostly straightforward storytelling. That is the bright dividing line between Bronze Age and whatever you want to call it afterwards. It's one of the reasons why those seminal 70s books still hold up.

^Yea, I'd blame Frank Miller a little more because at least Moore's work justified the nihilism with his artistic and philosophical ambitions. Miller, especially with Sin City, seemed to revel in cruelty for the sake of (I am a huge fan of his Batman: Year One, it's definitely a classic).
