scarletspeed7 11/10/17 11:44:26 PM #14:	Wedge Antilles posted... Was hoping to catch your take on Bendis going to DC. I'm pretty excited about this. Bendis had a great, cohesive take on Spider-Man that really made the Ultimate Universe tick. His Jess Jones work was always great, and I think he was just burning himself out on the limitations of the universe in which he worked. Is he the best writer at Marvel? Honestly, he might be. Marvel is pretty awful at the moment. Is he a phenomenal writer in general? I think he has the potential. If I'm bringing in Bendis, I'm saying, "Hey. We aren't putting out The Outsiders. We don't have a great take on street-level Gotham at the moment. We need some play in the realm of a Ted Kord-level guy and we aren't pumping out titles for the low-powered tier." That's what Bendis is best at. If I was just handing a title to Bendis, it would be Elongated Man or Wildcat or the Question. Maybe now is a great time to return Renee Montoya to the mask. The other thing I would consider is actually pushing a new writer in Titans. It's not exactly setting the world on fire, and Bendis' style of voice fits a twentysomething feel. I know a lot of people give him tons of flak, but I generally can find the positive in any writer. ~~Except JT Krul.~~ --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:890164434] in Took a cou...

I always try to be optimistic about DC. Too often, I think having a negative mindset about something that's coming completely colors my perception in such a way that it makes it too difficult to enjoy it. If a writer has ever produced a great comic, I try to go in with an open mind. And let's be honest, Geoff Johns telling Brian Bendis what to do? How fucking poetic is that? These two were fighting at the top of the charts for several GREAT years in both companies (regardless of what made those years great, both these guys were big parts of their respective companies). The fact that my boy Geoffery is sitting on the throne and directing the Kong from Ultimate Spider-Man to work on a title is just a warm fuzzy feeling. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:890164898] in Took a cou...
