I think DC putting out a press release saying Brian Michael Bendis is going to DC, and Brian Michael Bendis writing several tweets saying Brian Michael Bendis is going to DC, means Brian Michael Bendis is going to DC, yes.

There is literally no writer I would expected to see a headline like this about less than Bendis. Maybe Waid.

I'm...conflicted? It's a chance for a fresh start...maybe an excuse to get away from the tropes he's known for?

What the hell is Bendis gonna write?

Well time to anticipate a massive downwards swing in the quality of DC comics.

I feel like the DC editors won't give him total free rein over continuity like Marvel did.

I also wonder who his new "favorite character he forces into everything" will be.

Theres gonna be damage but at least it will be localized.

It has been 10 years since it was actually good and 8 years since it ended.

He stops getting to cash in on being once great after a certain point.

Bendis is either really good or really bad. I don't think he has an in between.

But Bendis Speak is maddening sometimes.

I think it refers to the kind of self-aware wink wink dialogue he writes, and how sometimes (often?) it doesnt fit tonally with the character and/or story

When Bendis accounts for 6 or 7 american icons we can talk.

Ultimate Spiderman is merely a "pretty good" run on Spiderman.

I'm just saying Stan's been dining out on "creation" credits that are looking more and more dubious every day and writing credits that never produced anything as good as USM, and we've given him over 50 years and counting, and you're saying Bendis can't get over a decade.

How so? Is there a growing sense that Kirby was the more creative side of things?

Was Whedon involved in Marvel projects before?

It's a common mistake. Joss Whedon was the showrunner on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, an adaptation of a Dark Horse Comics series.

I think he means the Defenders, but Whedon didn't have anything to do with that.

Not many people tend to associate him with Marvel, but Joss Whedon actually had a brief stint as an X-Men writer!

He did have a pretty successful run on a different Marvel TV show though with his wife, Maurissa Tancharoen.
