Obviously, Bendis is a big name in the comic book community but I haven’t read much of his work. So I can’t really judge the guy, but I have heard a lot of negative things about him.
The disregard for continuity, sjw politics and apparently there is this thing known as
“Bendis-speech" where one character says something and then someone else repeats it as an answer or something like that. And i mean, we already got one Tom King at DC.
I haven’t experienced much of this firsthand but marvel fans didn’t seem too unhappy to see him leave.
And then while reading “the man of steel” I came across a huge red flag.
(SPOILERS!) At the end of “The Oz Effect” Jor-El is pulled away by this blue light
(Dr. Manhattan) and that’s the last we see of him. Until this story where he just shows up out of thin air and picks up Jon for a little field trip across the universe. And Kal just lets his son go?
But what irked me the most was how they completely ignored the established continuity. As if the OZ Effect never happened. I mean, you’d think they address what happened to the guy or at least have Superman show some conser. Last time they were with each other Kal was trying to save him from the “blue light”. Overall the story wasn’t anything special but definitely not much to judge by.
I get that this arc was supposed to set up his tenure going forward and that lots of writers make little “tweaks” in continuity to fit their narrative, but the Oz Effect was just too recent and tied to a much bigger event (Doomsday Clock)
And when you have in mind the guy’s reputation it’s kind of hard to cut him any slack.
So how do you guy feel about all this? And what’s up with this new imprint...
