And neither were events, except for House Of M, which I thought was awesome even with the damage it did to Scarlet Witch's character. I don't know how he got that one so right yet every other event I read by him was trash.

House of M was a great idea through and through, but it was the start of the big events that Bendis and the rest of Marvel could come up with but not know how to plan their way out of it.

Bendis was always a great idea man like that. For instance bringing the classic X-Men to the present to confront the convoluted mess that had been modern X-Men was a great idea. Problem was he didn't seem to know what he was supposed to do with them once they got here (except to officially out Iceman and to use Kitty Pryde as his personal mouth piece and marry her off to his avatar Peter Quill, all of that he was certain about).
