Recently, Brian Michael Bendis has been on a crossover kick lately. Now of course this is nothing new with Marvel (being one of its main selling points and all) but what makes things interesting is that these subtle crossovers have been exclusively (at least to my knowledge) with characters Bendis has created / co-created personally, or at least has had a major influence on. One of the most predominant examples happens in Defenders #4 where Miles Morales/Spider-Man appeared in a scene that was in direct correlation with a scene in his own series in issue #17. More recently in, Spider-Man #20, Miles has now personally met the Japanese crime boss/Inhuman, Tomoe, aka "Techno Golem". This character made her debut in Bendis' recent Ironman run and has been a thorn in the side of both Tony Stark and Riri Williams since she can control various technology with her mind, making her a "Technopath" .
Is Miles' name going to be added onto that list?
From what I understand these "micro-crossovers" as I'm going to call them are getting some pretty positive feedback and some people are joking that this is the start of the "Bendisverse" in marvel comics where all his personally created characters overlap each other either through events or relations. But all joking aside, I actually find myself onboard with this idea if it keeps up with this kind of quality. What do you guys think? Do you think Bendis could pull off his own "verse" inside a "verse"? What other Marvel writers do you think should try this? And are there any previous examples of people trying this in the past with Marvel comics?
