    No, is a comic with art of Gene Ha and wrote by Gerard Jones.

    I can't re-read the comic book Prime without that little fact getting in the way.

    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!!!

    Linkara. That's another thing we do not talk about or reference.
    I can't read a book I never heard of before, so yeah, Linkara

    Nah, Marvel is still doing better without Bendis. He is basically a grim reaper to destroy what's good. Everything he touches turn to ashes.

    An OGN from 1999.

    I read it when it came out, seemed pretty run-of-the-mill at the time, but then again I was 17. Now, everything he ever wrote can be re-read with disturbing subtext unfortunately...

    But It was a big annoucement day.
    There we use to have a great Superman rebirth run.
    Bendis walks in with a mischievous grin,

    AGING JON KENT.
    You telling this story or am I?
    I am sorry go on.

    Bendis say he will create his own mediocore characters.
    Why did he tell us?

    In doing so, he also reboot his own Legion of Superheroes.
    I would held back my money to him.

    He become the writers for the JL run.
    What a dreadful run, anyways.

    We don't talk about Bendis. No, no, no. We don't talk about Bendis.

    What topic you think DC should stop bring up ever again.
    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.

    Bendis was giving every a list character marvel had for his books. Rob Liefeld could have written an Avengers run and sold just as much with all those A list characters.
