Modern creators don not tell a story in a single issue. instead they take roughly the same amount of story that would have been a single issue 50 years ago and spread it out over half a dozen issues. The current market (with its emphasis on collecting storylines into trade collection) encourages this.

The old way of writing comics just involves a lot of exposition and "yelling your moves in midfight" type of stuff. It's not bad and was necessary in some ways because readers didn't necessarily know everyone or what they did. But the corniness can be a little much when reading old comics. Reply reply.

When it comes to modern comics, I don't see any of the above factors holding for the vast majority of newer titles. Sales currently are dropping (there was a 6.5% drop in 2017 alone), and the large number of comic book shop closures in 2018 (see here ) points to the possibility that the number of readers is even less than can be extrapolated

Avengers Disassembled is a pretty good place to start for modern Marvel (can't believe it's been 20 years). It's a five part storyline from Avengers #500-503 and Avengers: Finale (2005) #1.

The medium of comics is an old one now, with almost 200 years of history behind it. That is correct, comics did not begin in the 1940's with the birth of Superman.
