Some good old fashioned fantasy mixed in with more modern influences. Expect fights galore, a whole multitude of strange species, and a diverse group of clans/empires for The Warlord to interact with.

Thanks for the education Simon. Up until now I've never heard of Warlord. It looks really interesting. I love the nostalgia that's associated with these showcase collections due to their art and golden age style. I laughed at how the explanation of what's going on is so simple "you're in the middle of earth silly…what's not to get about that?"

Ahh…I wasn't aware of that. I still have a fairly hard time telling the ages apart by looking at the art except for extreme examples. Today's full of comic education :-)

Yeah, to me Golden Age is classic "This is what you read in your childhood." Over the top heroics and some really silly stuff.

I still can't believe how much depth you have put in this site. I totally forgot about the "Age" categories that you set up for trades. You have put so much in already that at your one year anniversary you should just scrap it and restart ;)

I'm actually reading a ton of DC trades in order from Identity Crisis up until Return of Bruce Wayne. I just finished Batman and Son and will start Green Arrow: The Road to Jericho soon. I have about 100 trades left until I hit RoBW. I will then start all over at the beginning with Green Lantern Emerald Dawn and Batman Shaman. I'll likely pickup some much older collections (showcase) too at that point if I can. It think it will be interesting to see the differences between now and then with an indepth reading.

That's funny. If that is true this THIS is currently the golden age for a ridiculous amount of readers since we're STILL in the "Modern Age" right?

Well by that saying my golden age is:
-Superman Man for all Seasons
-Batman Cataclysm

I've seen talk of the Copper Age and Computer Age. And most convincingly: The Dark Age

It's all rather confusing.
I'll be able to figure it out better once we've had 20 years distance.

I really like that "age" classification. I think it's very appropriate. I wanted to thank you for the link and further info, until I realized it was a TV Tropes link…like I don't have enough time wasters right now! I'll be stuck there now for the rest of the day ;-)
