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).<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

I look forward to seeing what comes next.<\/p>\n
