What's Bendis writing these days?

[Jarocho]

So he's going to be writing All-New X-Men and Uncanny X-Men side-by-side, like he used to do with New Avengers & Mighty Avengers? I don't remember that going too well.

Or will the debut of Uncanny signal the end of All-New?

The New Avengers/Might Avengers situation was out of his hands, but he did try my patience when he put out New Avengers/AVENGERS every month.

It was like watching firemen at work. Lots of time sitting around nothing... sometimes there was a fire to put out... After that, home. The only character arc I remember was Luke and Jessica marital conflict, and that is only because it played on repeat from Civil War until I finally dropped the book.

I actually like All-New X-Men. I just hope he can do two X-Books and keep the up the quality.

Right now All New at times almost seems like 2 books, because it's sort of going back and forth between Scotts camp and the Jean Grey school anyways.

I have trouble with Bendis. He's written some of my favorite comics and some of my least favorite comics. I loved his run of Daredevil and Ultimate Spider-Man through issue 50. I've also read bits and pieces of other things that I really liked as well. But when I think of Bendis, I think of how much I hated Avengers Disassembled. And in a lot of ways that taints how I look at him.

I also don't really like his dialogue. It works pretty well in Ultimate Spider-Man because they were teenagers, but he didn't really change up his style when it came to writing adults such as Iron Man, Captain America, ect. Here's a sample piece from Avengers 501:

Iron Man: We're under attack
Hawkeye: Yeah, I kinda caught onto that
Iron Man: I'm asking by who
Hawkeye: Who? We know who
Hawkeye: And actually I think that this was just a bad day that wasn't over
Iron Man: A bad day?
Hawkeye: A really bad day!


If you can't tell me why that's bad and pedestrian, I don't know what to tell you to make you see.
