I think he is a huge reason why Marvel and now DC have made some of their worst choices.
Good Marvel characters- Bring Them Back!!!
I am a HUGE fan of Bendis Marvel work. Read everything he has written and loved or liked most of it. Not all but most. That being said I have not enjoyed ANY of his DC work except the Batman Universe books and issue 1 of Young Justice.
But I will never get why so much hate for his DC work. The Legion reboot? So what if you don't like it ? It is like the 5th reboot? It will likely be rebooted again or go back to the original Johns version at some point. Superman? I am sure he will get his secret ID again. And as far as the aging of Jon aren't many people here enjoying the Taylor book? His Justice League is just boring. He didn't do any real damage in my opinion. He didn't write Heroes in Crisis for gods sake.

I know high sales do not equate to quality. There are plenty of high selling books that I dislike but to say everything he touches (at Marvel at least) isn't true. Bendis thrived at Marvel. Wrote some of the best runs and biggest selling and loved events. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean the man doesn't have tons of fans of his work. And not just for the initial big event. His stuff sells like gangbusters in collected editions too. Ultimate Spiderman, Daredevil, New Avengers and so on.
