As a casual reader, Bendis' stuff stands out to me by a mile. He develops the characters constantly and drives the books with those characters. To me he's the best and most distinctive writer since Stan Lee.
Brian Michael Bendis is highly overrated. His work on Daredevil was fantastic, but his other work - especially Avengers - isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
Two of the other writers seated at that table (Brubaker and Fraction) can write circles around him... and so can Dan Slott, for that matter.
Bendis' ego and self-importance far outweigh his talent.
Watch Fraction's face as Christof Gage talks! He's holding back the laugh! Yeah, Gage is a AWFUL writer who's riding the Avengers coat tails but no need to get all High School Mean Girl on his ass.
@ramseyrocks Gage has written the best Avenger book in the stands while Fraction has written horrible X-Men and Thor stories. Oh and that shit for a crossover. At least his Iron Man is good.
@SSj5Alan Totally agree about Fraction's runs on X-Men and Thor - total garbage and worse of all killed of Nightcrawler. It really ticks me off how to give an event some significance they have to kill someone off. Fraction's Invincible Iron Man is more than good thou - it's a legendary run. As for Gage - GI Joe Cobra: YES! Everything else: GARBAGE!
Bendis sucks ass, he is the one and only person who could ever screw up MOON KNIGHT!
How about story progression instead of 3 - 4 issues of filler that could've been done more effectively in 2 issues?
Also learn how the character acts before you decide to put him in every single book that you write (spider-man/wolverine)

Bendis baggin on Dan Slott how original.
Atleast Dan's books are worth the $3.99, Bendis not so much.
Oral History of the Avenger? More like a guy who likes the sound of his own voice
