Like others, I too am hung up on the Tween connotation as it is applied to pre-teens these days (when applied the reference 19-year era between Crisis events). The other nitpick is the plural of Crisis is 'Crises', so it would be more accurate to say 'Tween-Crises', which doesn't roll off the toungue as easily as 'Intra-Crises'. :) Congrats on the spotlight!

Tween-Crisis sounds like it applies to someone who needs a hug or something. I just call post-Infinite-Crisis continuity “New Earth.”

Then they announced <i>Final Crisis</i>, and it seems like "Crisis Era" would apply better to the Identity-Infinite-Final Crisis series. I <a href="http://speedforce.org/2008/08/naming-flash-eras/" rel="nofollow">tried to figure out a better term</a> for this, and came up with "Legacy Era" to refer to the period between COIE and Infintie Crisis, since DC was big on passing the torch during that period, and has since been busy handing the torch back to the previous incarnations and downplaying their successors.
