Now Bendis has been doing his work in dc a while, And did make some changes in DC. What is your opinions about him?
For me, Surprisedly is his works better than I was expecting. But I still don't like he aging jon, And makes him the funder of the Legion instead of Superman. Also his Superman run aside from a few issues I think is interesting most parts the comics are boring.

Let’s see I’ve read a lot of his marvel stuff for years before DC so I might have some slight bias. Overall I’d say he’s doing a decent job. I think his Best work is probably Action Comics as it maintains that street level character writing he’s good at and genuinely has some of the better moments then his Superman run which has good ideas but don’t necessarily feel solid. His Naomi series was great, it was slow but overall a very good introduction for a new hero. Young Justice has been pretty good, while I’m a little meh on the Drake thing it’s not terrible and I’ve genuinely enjoyed how he writes Bart. However he has yet to really do anything really with Teen Lantern and Jenny Hex who just feel along for the ride for right now.

So overall he’s doing a good job with some of his titles needing some improvement or just some writing touch ups.

I think he's doing some good work. I don't agree with everything he's done, but I haven't ever felt like he's not trying his best to give his readers their money's worth

So far, he's doing a rather good work in my book.

His best series are, in that order for me : Naomi, Event : Leviathan and Action Comics.

Naomi because of the introduction, the vastness of potential stories down the line, the mysteries around the character's abilities and all that, and the art of course, which is simply stunning.

Event : Leviathan because I like the fact that it isn't a slug-fest or an action event. It's very much a cerebral one, where the characters' interactions matter more than the potential fights. And I've the feeling it'll cement great new things for the DCU.

Action Comics because of how genuinely human the intrigue is. Superman's the main star, but so are the peoples of the Daily Planet, hell, Metropolis itself, up to and including Lois Lane, and that's really good. Plus, the concept of the Invisible Mafia is simply a stroke of genius. It doesn't work for any other hero but Superman, and it's incredible that no one truly ever thought of that.

That's not to say that Superman and Young Justice are bad, far from it, and they deal with high concepts that I like but I sometimes feel the execution a bit rushed. But they're still really good, and his Superman is one I like, which is extremely rare with this character, who usually don't speak to me at all. Young Justice's a little messy at times, but I find the humor pretty enjoyable (when I couldn't enter in the original series - the one with just Bart, Tim and Connor, in the 90's I think?) so it's okay.

It's obviously too soon to judge his Legion of Super-Heroes, but I'm confident. I get why people who loved the ancient version(s) would be upset, but I've the feeling they should give this book a chance. It already has against it to not be in the main continuity's main era, so making it relevant may be hard, so I really hope it'll woo readers around.

Other than his his horrendous actions towards Tim Drake, i’m rather enjoying his DC work so far.

Young Justice is good and Leviathan will be good, bad or stupid depending on how it ends. I'm not a fan of his Superman or LoSH(this might change depending on how things play out).

Assume your question is restricted to DC and not his Marvel career. If the latter would need way more time than I have to address it.

In summary however, Bendis tends to operate on extremes. When he's good, he's very good. When he's bad, he's a trainwreck! Of course at the end of the day, it boils down to personal preferences and opinions.

I believe the only book Bendis is currently writing that I really like is Batman Universe. Absolutely enjoy it. Not sure is a direct result of King's current run, but I'm finding his Batman a breath of fresh air. Would love to see a Volume 2.
