New Avengers, New Comics Legend
November 23, 2005
Over the last few months of reading Amazing Spider-Man, a continually running core plot point has been his membership in a newly reformed Avengers. Never having been a huge Avengers fan, I wasn’t initially very interested, but this interest has slowly increased.
I just completed reading New Avengers Volume 1: Breakout, which collects New Avengers #1-6. After completing this, I was hooked. The writing was just all out fantastic. I hadn’t been this excited about a comic since the Ultimate Spider-Man Collection. It was then it hit me.
Bendis wrote Ultimate Spider-Man, and he also wrote New Avengers. In fact it was him who dissolved the original Avengers. That series has been compiled in the aptly named Avengers Disassembled.
Bendis has also been involved in writing Daredevil, Ultimate X-Men, Ultimate Fantastic Four. In the meantime he created and wrote Ultimate Marvel Team-Up, Secret War, Alias, Powers, and House of M. He’s also responsible for bringing Spider-Woman and Luke Cage back to life.
I’m looking forward to getting my hands on as many Bendis written stories as I can. As far as I’m concerned he’s a living legend like Stan Lee, Frank Miller, Jack Kirby, or Steve Ditko. In 5-10 years all the comics based movies will be driven by the characters and worlds Bendis is creating and expanding right now.

Got something to say?
[...] Anyway, I decided to get my hands on Ultimate Fantastic Four purely to find out if Brian Michael Bendis had put the same touch on this series as he had on The Avengers. Though I was skeptical, he did it here as well. I just finished reading Ultimate Fantastic Four 1-6 and these characters are interesting to me for the first time. [...]
[...] After enjoying the first 6 issues of The New Avengers, I decided to read the next 6 part series collected in New Avengers Volume 2: Sentry. This story arc revolves around the mystery of The Sentry. In the first six parter he was involved in helping with the event that formed the New Avengers, but his back story was completely unknown to all the characters in the Marvel Universe. In the end, Bendis had me thoroughly intrigued about this character’s history. [...]
