he gets a lot of both love and hate on CBR. Personally I think Bendis has fantastic over all ideas but when it comes to execution there's a good amount of failure at making it an exciting read. His starts tend to be great but the endings just flounder. (New Avengers V.1 and ANAD V. 1 along with UMX V. 3 were prime examples of this, the first arc are two were great but then...meh.) I think he does MUCH better in solo titles or with characters he's created or being the primary one establishing if they're been an underused character in the past. My main issues though have been how so many of the characters aside from his primary 1-2 stars seem to melt into the same voice, oftentimes to being completely OOC, his total disregard for continuity and his extremely compressed story telling style. I don't think he's the worst writer out there by any means but to me he's just not that interesting...which may be an even worse standard in this medium.

TL,DR version: He's boring......
