lol nah, Bendis isn't that guy.

Without getting into some age old thread 'comic junk', I view Bendis as one of comic readership's classic boogey men. A receptacle in which many people seem to deposit all of their angst, vitriol, and animus. Was/is he the best comic writer? Not by a long shot. Was/is he the worst? Not by an even longer shot, believe it or not.

He was a 'shake-up' guy who delivered relevance to Marvel titles at a time in which things had grown stale. However, I don't do books currently (outside of TPBs) and haven't read anything recently by him full stop

For what it's worth, I enjoyed House of M, Avengers Disassembled, New Avengers (for the most part), and his Daredevil run. I can't speak for much else...

EDIT: For the literalists, when I say 'comic junk' I'm referring to the contentious debates about comics that have unintentionally emerged here over the years. Given my participation in the thread, my collection of MLs, and a variety of other clear 'tells'...I'm obviously a fan of comics.
