If people want to debate the merits of the story fine. I didn't care for it and only remember a few issues, so I can't speak to the overarching story; however, that was not the consensus.
Bendis's work was very popular at least his first decade or so with Marvel after that I'd say his popularity has declined. Sometime around 2011 or 2012, he wasn't generating the sales he once did, but relative to the industry and competition he still did ok. I'm not sure how he's doing at DC, and frankly comic sales don't mean what they once did, but you can track his impact on the medium through multimedia. The Netflix MCU shows, the MCU, Disney+ shows, etc., etc. If we're not judging work on a weighted average of comic sales and reviews then we're just debating our personal opinions which is a different conversation.
But to get back on track, I'm curious to see where Marvel takes Echo. If this is just a temporary change or a long-term one. I often feel like some of Aaron's recent storylines are trial and error for tv and movies. It'll be interesting.
