Brian Bendis moves from Marvel to DC

Which means absolutely nothing to people who don’t read comics, but is akin to Jack Kirby’s famous move from Marvel to DC back in the early 70s (where he promptly created the New Gods and a host of of other zaniness).

Bendis has been one of the preeminent comics writers at Marvel for a decade and more. To my mind, his greatest strength is in dialog — having characters talk like real people — and in showing that you can actually make dialog tell a story in what is primarily a visual medium.

While I’m eager to see what he does over on the DC side of things, my biggest regret in his leaving Marvel is that he’ll no longer be involved with the Jessica Jones character, which he co-created and has had great creative success with.

I look forward to seeing what comes next.

  1. I also remember that Kirby did all that stuff…. on Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen. That's how little DC apparently trusted him. If Bendis can make DC characters functional again, great. But time will tell how much latitude they really give him.

  2. +Bill Garrett Yeah, and that Jimmy Olson stuff was truly zany (and included Dubbilex and the DNAliens and Cadmus Labs).

    I had heard that Kirby signed onto Jimmy Olson because he didn't want to push any existing talent out of a job, and they didn't have have anyone regularly working that title. I can't imagine DC going to the effort to get Kirby and not have some trust in mind for what he was going to do (though apparently there was bad blood between him and some of the existing writers and artists).

    Other creations of his from the period: the Demon, OMAC, Kamandi, and Kobra.

    Kirby working on his own was always kind of crazy. His stuff really jarred with the DC of the time, visually and tonally. It's not surprising he didn't last long, but it's remarkable how what he did has had such a lasting impact.
