As of late, it would seem that Bendis is tired of writing superhero comics and wants to focus on his own creator owned material. Yet he signed a 10-year deal with Marvel. Does this mean that Marvel gave him enough creative freedom to do his own thing within Marvel? I think that given the quality writing of Civil War II, Bendis is burned out. Marvel must be paying him a ton of money just to keep him around even though he really doesn't want to stay on anymore.
