Bendis not just a writer primarily known for Marvel work - you could argue that modern Marvel is a company known for Bendis’ work.īendis’ very first comic for Marvel, 2000’s Ultimate Spider-Man, was an instant hit. Comparisons are already being made to Jack Kirby’s 1970 defection from Marvel to DC Comics. The announcement of a major company switch for a name as big as Bendis, who has virtually never written for DC before, is unusual.īut it’s also unusual because, love his work or hate it, Bendis has made major contributions to the foundation of the modern Marvel Universe. Occasionally, DC or Marvel will exclusively sign new, up-and-coming talent. So Bendis’ move is surprising: Usually, when DC or Marvel announce exclusivity agreements, they’re with writers and artists who have already been working with them off and on for a while, with a few successful home-publisher titles under their belts. Not only will Bendis be writing DC Comics characters for nearly the first time, he’ll be writing them exclusively, breaking ties with Marvel Comics.
Brian Michael Bendis, a 20-year Marvel veteran, will join DC Comics, the publisher announced today.
