I don't buy comics to read a novel, Mr Bendis. And how long is this going to go on for, anyway? And is it going to be collected as a proper novel, or something - is that what Marvel is hoping to get out of this, besides wasting valuable paper.<br /><br />I can see I'm one of the few people here who still very much like Bendis -- but this is a very good example of him just slipping up completely.Kandou Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233336986244371430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992648596835959526.post-35023353605900633632010-12-12T08:05:04.433-05:002010-12-12T08:05:04.433-05:00And to think The Avengers was a title I collected ...And to think The Avengers was a title I collected religiously for decades....now undone by Bendis....ugh...MOCK!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02854497329647596811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992648596835959526.post-84599411488945906652010-12-11T14:50:12.732-05:002010-12-11T14:50:12.732-05:00We've also got the retconning of Bucky being p...We've also got the retconning of Bucky being purposefully trained for the job of Captain America's sidekick rather than accidentally stumbling upon Steve Rogers in the Cap uniform. I don't know whether Ed Brubaker originated that one or not.

No schizophrenia, fake or otherwise. But really, it's impossible to tell exactly what happened in his version, exact that none of his implications make sense.snellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181997862745538999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992648596835959526.post-27281135140474203652010-12-10T09:35:12.636-05:002010-12-10T09:35:12.636-05:00So Hank faked a schizophrenic episode?

None of these stories could have taken place with Bendis' new history.<br /><br />And yet - the Avengers are still one of the best selling titles.

Now I see that I was saving myself an aneurism by doing so. I'm done with Bendis. He's become second rate anyway by stretching himself so thin over so many books. Brubaker for president. <br /><br />Sooo what do we think of the new Doctor Solar and Magnus Robot Fighter? Awesome?

What a load of pish. Joe Casey did a decent job of revising the story in Earth's Mightiest Heroes II a few years back, spinning things to make Jan and co look better without changing the original story as presented at all. But that's not good enough?Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992648596835959526.post-9392268924563117532010-12-09T10:14:22.580-05:002010-12-09T10:14:22.580-05:00Mr. "Chaos Magic Is Complete Bullshit" B...Mr. "Chaos Magic Is Complete Bullshit" Bendis rewriting Avengers history in his own warped image?
