Talk about comics...

Bendis is god. No really. He is.

I used to say that about Neil Gaiman (Sandman writer, among others) and Alan Moore (Writer of way too many kick ass comics) but I think it's time to expand the pantheon just a little bit. ^^

Brian Micheal Bendis currently writes way too many titles (Ultimate Spiderman, Daredevil, The Pulse, Avengers, Powers etc) and I'm really amazed at his gift for dialogue--which is his main strength. It all flows smoothly, casual and easygoing.

He's done several life altering things in Daredevil already that I'm starting to wonder when he'll run out of ideas! (He's revealed Daredevil's secret identity to the tabloids, blinded the kingpin, introduced a wife for Matt Murdoch, created a new designer drug made from Mutant Growth Hormone, really messed up the status quo and now Daredevil's taken over new york as the new Kingpin!)

Now he's planning to change the Avengers by killing off a long time member, disbanding the team and starting a new core team of Avengers with Spiderman and Wolverine in it! (Spiderman has never been a team player and Wolverine really doesn't work well with Captain America)

His ideas are radical and I'm really in awe. Shet.

ok fanboy mode off.
