Spider-Man #21 is a solid output from Brian Michael Bendis and company with humor, action, and an ever-compelling lead character.

It looks like the black guy is telling the white guy that he knows he will always be second place. I'm not sure if Brian Michael Bendis intended this message I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt Things like this do happen unintentionally, but the message is still there and not hard to[...]

From there, I read the Marvel Adventures Avengers book (I was young, remember), and, some time after that, I moved on to Brian Michael Bendis's New Avengers around the time the *sigh* 'original' Civil War story kicked into gear. They've been one of my two favorite teams ever since The Thunderbolts are at the top for me,[...]

Seeking out her closest friend, Carol Danvers, the two women and Danielle Cage are hiding out underground until the situation is dealt with by the superhero community. Brian Michael Bendis, with Alias and now Jessica Jones has mastered the art of the "not a superhero story" set in a world of superheroes Though Jessica Jones has[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"]   The Defenders #6 from Marvel Comics by Brian Michael Bendis, David Marquez and Justin Ponsor is a bit of the exception that proves the rule to much of what we can expect with Marvel Legacy While many of the other series will be starting brand new arcs, even if they go back to classic[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Defenders #5 from Marvel Comics by writer Brian Michael Bendis, artist David Marquez and colourist Justin Ponsor (with lettering by VC's Cory Petit) is an incredibly smart book that immediately pulls off something the Netflix Defenders series' all pulled – what seemed like an ending of the story last week was not really the[...]

Infamous Iron Man #11 has decent moments and plot points (and Alex Maleev could make a drawing of a phonebook captivating), but it's still mediocre overall.

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Defenders #4 from Brian Michael Bendis, David Marquez, and Justin Ponsor wraps up the opening arc for this brand-new run of the series, focusing on the street level heroes of New York's Hell's Kitchen and Harlem It continues to be one of the most fun comics coming out from Marvel, with some top-notch banter[...]

This is just characters being written well, bouncing off each other well, and with an adventure that feels like it has stakes and is genuinely a joy to read. Defenders #3 Cover by David Marquez and Justin Ponsor Now, writer Brian Michael Bendis gets a lot of stick People saying his characters sound the same or whatever[...]

It's also generally very visually appealing, and is actually pretty in line with frequent Brian Michael Bendis partner David Marquez. There are some panel sequencing issues — sometimes it's hard to tell in which order you are supposed to read This seems to be a frequent problem with Brian Michael Bendis It's a relatively minor issue, but it's[...]

Daredevil checks an angle with Ben Urich from the Daily Bugle. Jessica Jones, Daredevil, and Iron Fist all manage to locate Diamondback's hideout and ambush the would-be kingpin. This comic is exactly why I love all four of these characters, as well as Brian Michael Bendis's work It's fast-paced, fun, and full of good one-liners[...]

Brian Michael Bendis is an excellent (and prolific) writer who writes these characters to be believable, street smart people You'll honestly care about the relationship between Cage and Jones, and understand why Cage gets so mad The art, by David Marquez is realistic and grounded This a believable New York City, and Marquez has paid[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] I love Brian Michael Bendis' work There I said it. This guy gets a lot of hate It's somewhat understandable He has a very distinct Whedon-esque writing style He relies a lot on humor and one-liners, most of his characters are smartasses, and he has been writing big established comics like The Avengers, Invincible Iron[...]

Cover by Arthur Adams Guardians of the Galaxy #16 is part of Brian Michael Bendis' swan song on the series, with each issue focusing on a different member of the Guardians as they find themselves trapped on Earth.

Every so often, comic book publishers send out previews of upcoming comics without any of the lettering finished. The result, while pretty to look at,

The stories are written by Brian Michael Bendis with art by Steve McNiven and Sara Pichelli with short stories drawn by Yves Bigerel, Michael Del Mundo, Michael Avon Oeming and Ming Doyle.
