Avengers have to do something between Kang and Thanos, so Bendis does ninja’s and the Hood. I was fine with that. In fact I really liked Bendis New Avengers. Bendis did New Avengers first in Secret War, and then completed it after Finale. Bendis added history and dimension to the characters, that they would never normally get with Busiek or Johns. Busiek and Johns (like Hickman) gave caricatures and adventure, but Bendis gave soul and vulnerability to the Avengers. It’s not for everybody. Bendis’ best Cap was a small appearance in Alias, where Cap was filmed having a conjugal visit to a client of Jessica Jones.
