This title will be interesting to see the quality of. Bendis's strengths as a writer show when he's doing single character titles with a focus on street action but his team titles aren't that strong.

I tend to believe it's a result of too much on his plate at the same time. Bendis writes 3-5 titles at the same time in addition to all his other work.

It makes his team titles less polished.

But it's not even debated. Like, I've never even seen anyone question it.
Have you ever met Flow? I'd recommend the ignore button

is this because I am the true Panther of GAF?
 
I feel like I should be interested in this but yet nope can't say I am. I get why they do all this cross promotion stuff but it kinda puts me off. Maybe if it gets positive word of mouth I'll pick it up in trade.

no one is silly enough to say what you said

come on dude this isn't some random out there opinion lol
 
One one hand, Bendis does well with street-level heroes.

On the other hand...Bendis.

Daredevil: I've been thinking.
Jessica: You've been thinking?
Daredevil: Yeah, I've been thinking.
Jessica: Thinking, woah. What have you been thinking about?
Daredevil: We should ambush those goons down the hall-way.
Jessica: The hallway?
Daredevil: The hallway.
Jessica: The super long, poorly lit hallway?
Daredevil: That hallway.
Jessica: Woah.
Daredevil: I know.
Jessica: Woah. Just woah.
Daredevil: I know.
 
I only buy trades and am not up on new announcements, so with this news...

did they cancel Power Man and Iron Fist?

I have never read anything by Bendis that I didn't absolutely fucking loathe, so I am hoping I can still enjoy Walker, Greene, and company's take in their own book.

edit:

No mattet how you feel about this, I think you can admit that the actual team members are pretty good for a team.

With my luck, bendis would bring back those terrible mighty mind balloons to go along with this riveting dialog
 
I spent most of the oughts being mocked for the love of Luke Cage. Now that Luke Cage is a household name, I just sit back in my chair and laugh and laugh.

Can't argue with Bendis on that. Cage been around a long time, but current Cage? That's all Bendis work.

I'm down, mostly because Bendis gets three of these characters and Marquez is an amazing artist.
 
This is very exciting!

And by exciting I mean boring and predictable and everything that is wrong with Marvel right now. At least throw in a random character that isn't on Netflix.

I love Bendis, but this is not what I want from a Defenders book.
 
Hmm, these are characters that Bendis knows how to write, so I think this will work even as a team book. I mean, he currently has 4 books out now, and he is nailing all of them, so SOME credit is due.
 
DD's my boy but coming off bru, some rucka, and years with waid, soule's not quite hitting it outta the park for me - i don't usually wanna see bendis on team books, but these 4 really fit his writing style, i'd be lying if i said i wasn't excited here.

Bendis + Team Book = Hell no.

usually agreed, but:

DD - bendis did easily the finest run since miller here
jessica - he made her
luke - would've stayed on the sidelines if he didn't push dude, hard
danny - bru did far more with him (even in DD's book) but this works too

street level vigilantes are the one area i trust him on, and this lineup is made for dude
 
Why si Daredevil wearing his shadowland clothes?

ask Soule, or Garney i guess? it's what he's been in since ANAD came about, and we still don't know how the genie got put back in the bottle either

Bendis wrote maybe the best Daredevil run ever so I'm happy to see him back with the character.

agreed, my personal favorite - reread it recently and loved it so much. i'd only drop off Decalogue by the end, that one was weird

It was great but let's not get crazy here. Miller's run literally changed the entire medium forever.

let's not get crazy here.

ehh Miller's run was absolutely a game changer, i know his shorter batman work gets cited more but he really did cement the character/style, and did so with leftover b-tier spidey villains no less
 
Lol dat cross-promotion. I'm down for a street level book, no doubt, though. I want to see appearances by Colleen, Misty, Shang-Chi, White Tiger, Spider-Man, and Moon Knight down the line, if possible.

hes nailing miles?

This just needs both characters starting a sentence with "The thing is..." and you nailed it.
 
It's not like the names to these comic books mean anything anymore.


Ultimates is currently some kind of cosmic book
Uncanny X-Men is about a team with Magneto, Sabretooth, and Mystique
X-Force has been a number of different things at this point

Marvel just slaps random names on books now

Champions is now Marvel's Teen Titans (or auditions for the Avengers movies in 2030,) instead of a cast-off book starring Black Widow, Hercules, Iceman, Angel and Ghost Rider

Sometimes these are improvements.


Did somebody at Marvel ever consider coming up with a different name for this new team?


Gotta keep the name copyrighted somehow other than launching another "The Avengers didn't have room for these guys" book.

Don't forget the part where Kitty Pryde shows up for no good reasion

Oh, that could be a neat set-up for a super team line-up, nice to see those four interact-

BENDIS

- at least Jessica will be okay, I guess?
 
He's the "best guy" who writes Miles, out of the, like, five guys who have written him since his inception barely six years ago. And almost all of those have been from team books.

I also disagree that he's the best writer for him. I think Fiffe wrote him better.
 
Bendis writes the best miles. the issues where he breakdown during civil war were too good.

Miles is a great spider, and can actually take out any of the other spiders easily.

but I am not even sure why we are talking about spiders when this is about the other street heroes

his luke is awesome.

right now I only trust Walker, Coates, and Bendis to do Luke cage justice. Maybe Gendy if ever decides to write for marvel again


I just want to know what's gonna happen to David Walker.
PM&IF might get cancelled. The current arc is solid though. I think Walker can write a good conclusion to the series if he had to wrap it this year.

Carol Danvers could take out all of the spiders and still can't sell comics so who cares how strong Miles is? He's still the most boring spider.
 
They are filming this right down the block from my home. Ill try to walk pass by it when I get home from work.

Fuck thought this was the tv show my bad.
