DC Comics Just Hired That Famous Writer, Brian Michael Bendis - Sensationalist Headlines

[video]https://twitter.com/DCComics/status/927901459521331205[/video] It appears to be an exclusive contract which would mean that Marvel Comics just lost one of their best selling writers. [Editline]Excelsior[/editline] [QUOTE]In a shocking coup for DC Comics, longtime Marvel writer “The Great One” Brian Bendis has switched sides, signing a multi-year exclusive deal with the company.[/QUOTE] [url]https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/11/07/brian-bendis-switches-sides-signs-dc-exclusive/[/url]

Don't fuck with me, DC. What book is he on?

Please do Batman.

I feel there's a few users here that we're going to need to keep an eye on now. I feel they're all about to have heart-attacks.

hahaa man marvel comics is so fucked

Marvel Comics just lost their biggest money maker since the 90s. The ship is sinking.

I'm not looking forward to Bendis on DC. I feel like they finally got their shit together - if they put him on something directly related to Doomsday Clock or the overarching DC Rebirth plotline I don't have high hopes. I'd like to be pleasantly surprised though, but I feel like the Bendis of late is well past his prime.

Bendis needs an editor to rein him in, which he was given a lot of pull on stories and such at Marvel. I know he doesn't have enough pull to kill Bruce and replace him with a black teen, but if he has a good editor to push away the dumb ideas and curb his writing quirks a change of scenery might be good for him.

Was Bendis the one who was writing entire panels full of dialogue at one point?

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;52865624]Was Bendis the one who was writing entire panels full of dialogue at one point?[/QUOTE] He also has a tendency to have the artist just copy paste panels and what I would call "manufactured wit". Such as this example. [t]https://i.imgur.com/LYyyNfL.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=J!NX;52865579]hahaa man marvel comics is so fucked[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=J!NX;52865707]Is DC going to be ruined now this man must be stopped[/QUOTE] get you a man that can do both

[QUOTE=J!NX;52865707]Is DC going to be ruined now this man must be stopped[/QUOTE] He is going to get Humphries'ed. God-awful Marvel writer gets a DC book, suddenly starts writing good shit.

I'm no comic expert, but as far as I know, in Marvel fan circles, Bendis has been mainly disliked for the past few years for being a bad writer. I'm not sure this is really a blessing for DC, who's been on a stride recently with a few acclaimed writers like Tom King

Fun fact: Sam Humphries was a Bendis acolyte. Nobody liked his writing, sold like shit. Got a job writing Green Lanterns for DC. Coincidentally one of my favorite books, and it's outselling [I]the Avengers[/I].

my favorite story of his was the one where peter parker and wolverine switched bodies and then wolverine took the opportunity to try and fuck the underaged mary jane

[QUOTE=ThatSprite;52865716]get you a man that can do both[/QUOTE] Marvel is fucked in a different way. If Bendis is willing to leave from his cushy job with hardly anyone power checking him, the organization must [I]fucked[/I] internally.

I really hope that the editors reign in his constant dialogue, Blue Beetle was really tough to get through with constant quipping

[QUOTE=Steel & Iron;52865762]Marvel is fucked in a different way.

[quote] Marvel Entertainment has provided a statement regarding Brian Michael Bendis' DC "exclusive" deal announced earlier on Tuesday. The deal will result in Bendis ending his 17-year working relationsip with Marvel. “Brian is a great partner and has contributed incredible stories and characters to the Marvel Universe over the years," said a Marvel spokesperson. "We appreciate his creativity and professionalism, and we wish him the best on his future projects.” Marvel tells Newsarama that the company was aware that Bendis would not be renewing his long-held exclusive with them (last signed back in 2015), and had signed a deal with DC. Marvel declined to comment on Bendis's four ongoing Marvel titles, the announced Punisher: End of Days miniseries, or the continued publication of his creator-owned work through Icon.[/quote] [url=https://www.newsarama.com/37245-marvel-comments-on-bendis-dc-departure-reveals-how-much-they-knew-beforehand.html]Newsarama[/url] 17 years with the company on some landmarked titles, leaves without even a wave goodbye by an unnamed spokesperson. That should tell you something.

[QUOTE] Marvel declined to comment on Bendis's four ongoing Marvel titles, the announced Punisher: End of Days miniseries, or the continued publication of his creator-owned work through Icon.[/QUOTE] They have no idea what to do and probably hoped to snatch Bendis back at the last moment. It's even more hilarious if you know that Icon was basically created to keep Bendis in Marvel 24/7.

Wonder what made him jump ship. Must be real bad. [editline]7th November 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Links;52865607]I'm not looking forward to Bendis on DC.

I'd like to be pleasantly surprised though, but I feel like the Bendis of late is well past his prime.[/QUOTE] With a tight editorial leash and access to just one book of a specific property that'd fit his style, he could probably do something decent. When he left he was doing like 5 books + his own creator owned book through Marvels icon imprint on the side, nobody really pushed back on him leading to a lot of idiotic writing and just awful continuity, and he didnt seem to give a shit to any degree.

[QUOTE=AaronM202;52866098]Wonder what made him jump ship. Must be real bad.[/QUOTE] Maybe Disney is finally cracking down on Marvel comics, and Bendis leaving is the first of many.

[QUOTE=Steel & Iron;52865762]Marvel is fucked in a different way.

Kevin Smith by his own admission learned most of his urban context from popular media and news and still managed to write better urban mythos for a year than Bendis has [B]ever[/B] written in his entire life and on the converse Matt Fraction wrote an arc in six issues that eclisped what took Bendis literally ten years to do with the same character, that's the kind of writer Bendis is.

I wonder what the comic world will end up as if Marvel and DC collapse. New era of post-superhero comics?

It really feels to me like Marvel will collapse shortly after the completion of the MCU
