[QUOTE="stevelabny, post: 2823384, member: 9298"] Well, as much as I despise Disassembled, and NewAvengers, and love mocking Bendis for how bad it is, you can't really call him a hack. His B&W detective stuff (Jinx, Torso) was great, his Daredevil was pretty good, Powers v1 was good, and Alias was amazing. Just about any time you give Bendis ONE character (preferably without a long past, although he did handle DD ok) he seems to be fine. But his writing style is absolutely NOT made for team books. He loses too many characters in the background and the stories go on forever with nothing happening. A part of that is also at the fauly of the editorial policy to make all storylines 6 issues so they fit nicely into TPBs, and I don't think all of the bad ideas of this Avengers roster are Bendis' fault either. Quesada is a totally clueless nimrod who seems to only like the Marvel Universe from the 60s-early 70s who wants to forget/ignore everything that happened between then and when he took over. I'm not sure why Cage is getting the hate, as he is the one who would fit in best with the "real" Avengers, and he has had some great interactions with Spidey. Cage has been around long enough to be respected, filled in with the Fantastic Four, and his Avengers status ties nicely in with him getting married and having a kid. Of course it might have made more sense if Iron Fist would have joined the Avengers at the same time. But whatever. I agree that if done well, Spider-man COULD be an Avenger, but the way theyve turned all his solo books into Spidey and the New Avengers and the way he's completely fallen under Stark's wing are nonsense. But Wolverine? No. Spider-Woman? I don't know what's worse, her being on the same team as Spider-Man, or her hanging around Jessica Jones. Can we say unneccessarily distracting? And Sentry? I'm sure he would have made a great Avenger if only he ever had a writer who knew how to juggle an entire cast of characters. But he's been mostly left out in the cold. Whenever Avengers Classic or West Coast Avengers or whatever they want to call another Avengers book happens, it will be 2 years too late. But seeing the REAL Avengers back in action will make me happy. [/QUOTE]
