I am of the opinion that the only person allowed to write Osborn from now on is DeConnick.

Also, I just read Alias the other day. What the HELL happened to Bendis!? How did his writing get so bad/cliche?

Nothing "happened" to him. He's just better suited on some titles than others.

Although I don't get the Bendis Osborn hate. With the exception of 'Pulse', Bendis has had a good handle on the character. On the contrary, I thought the Osborn miniseries series was pretty bland.

I liked Dark Avengers, I loved the miniseries.

Not sure it's the right time for a revisit of it, though; but then again, let's wait & see how it turns out.

Well, let's see.

I strongly dislike Norman Osborn because he's dead and I'm sick of Marvel pushing him down our throats. He had his time, it's over, go away, die...again.

I dislike Bendis's writing because IMO I think he's brutally overrated. The only thing he writes well is crime--and really that not so well. Alias worked out only because he was working with a blank slate in Jessica Jones. I think his endings are poor, he writes almost every pre-existing character out of character to suit his plots--to me that's poor writing. Put him on a comic where he gets to write only non-super underworld types and cops--normal, non-super cops--and I think he'd do a good job.

If we got rid of every single comicbook character that has been overexposed and/or has been killed off and brought back to life at one point or another, we'd be left with...well, I was going to say Alfred, but technically he was killed off, revived as a supervillain and then restored back to normal. Norman didn't really get overexposed until Dark Reign.

As for Bendis...his team titles can get stinky, but his solo titles (Spider-Man, Daredevil, Alias, etc) are great. He's not the best thing since sliced bread, and his work has suffered when being stretched too thin, but he's still a more-than-adequate writer. Even if he turned into Jeph Loeb tomorrow, many of his earlier runs would still be regarded highly.

I disagree with your assessment about Osborn and about Bendis, but I'm glad you like them.

Except Osborn isn't "dead" and he's one of their top villains. What, just because you don't like a character you think they should be killed off, even if other people like him?

I also disagree with you about Bendis.

That's cool. I offered an opinion, and you offered yours.
