Bendis to leave Avengers.

[gaz973]

Yep, Bendis has finally announced that he will finish his long run on Avengers (and New Avengers and Avengers Assemble). I for one am looking forward to some fresh writing on Avengers, Bendis has managed to bring Avengers to the forefront of Marvel but his stories have seemed very average most of the time with some decent ones and some completely ones (and the Bendis dialogue still drives me to a murderous rage sometimes).

 

No announcements yet on who will be taking over but it'll be particularly interesting to see what happens with New Avengers which was pretty much Bendis's creation with his favourite characters. Marvels got some decent writers on board so my fingers are crossed that it's the dawn of a great new period for the Avengers.

Bendis was/is still working on the Avengers? I never got passed the first issue of New Avengers. Anyhow, I wish the series well.

. I left Avengers shortly after he started on it.

The 1st volume of New Avengers was fresh and fun. But it started declining at the end of the run. The 2nd run was pretty bad to the point that I dropped it.

 

It is time for someone else to do it. Probably should have started that at the 2nd volume #1.

I haven't read many marvel books in the last 6 months, but never like bendis.

Is it really a loss?

It's about time. I stopped reading his stuff a while ago.

he's good with a solo character book (like Ulti Spidey) BUT he SUCKED at Avengers, Illuminati and Secret Invasion.

 

Isn't he doing X-men Vs Avengers??

[unmovedmover]

I never liked his work on the title after the first arc of of New Avengers. He's good at talking heads but not as good at action. I like my Avengers to have more action and less talking heads.

X-Men Vs Avengers will be Bendis' gateway book into the X-Men titles. Watch.

Honestly, his strong suit isn't the superhero. It's in the realism of the character. Daredevil and Alias because he tore down the superhero aspect and dealt with them from a vertigo-esque perspective. Frankly, the artist was a huge help too (also a Vertigo-esque person in his own right).
