I totally get it, and as I say, most team books are not his strong suit. Event books neither, although I think Secret Invasion was interesting enough (just not needing the, what, two years of build-up?), and I actually really liked Siege; that, to me, was short, punchy and did what it needed to. Norman Osborn lost it, got battered, and the Sentry's ongoing stuff was finally resolved. Lovely Coipel art, too.

But.. Yeah. 'Civil War II: Thank You Carol, Goodbye Tony, and to all the precogs: Congratulations'? Super-not good.

I'm looking forward to the Defenders, though. Danny is like, the only real unknown quantity in Bendis' hands. Otherwise? He made contemporary Daredevil and Luke Cage what they are, and Jess is just about the smartest, most careful insertion of a character into existing continuity that I've seen. And it's a good creative team, too; Bendis really gets a good pick of artists, be it Pichelli, Marquez, Maleev, and Gaydos. So I'm really hyped he's taking a good artist with him to the Defenders. I'm also glad it's not yet another iteration of 'Heroes For Hire', since he'd suggested that before when wrapping up the Avengers, and it never seems to go anywhere.
