So unless you live in one of the Dark Multiverse worlds, you surely heard the news about the DC Comics exclusive contract signed by super-scribe Brian Michael Bendis. This is huge news in the comics industry as Bendis has been largely credited with spearheading the modern Marvel Comics Universe, writing and creating many titles and characters.
So many fans are asking themselves “What now?”. Well, Bendis’ track record is pretty varied. He has written everything from teenage superheroes (Ultimate Spider-Man), gritty urban vigilantes (Daredevil), police procedurals (Powers), cosmic adventure (Guardians of The Galaxy) and noir (Alias/Torso/The United States of Murder). With a resume like that he could tackle almost any kind of comic. So with that in mind, I propose five existing DC properties the writer would be great at. Keep in mind this is just MY opinion, as no one knows (yet at least) what Bendis may be writing.
What titles/characters do you want to see him write? Comment and discuss below!
3. Legion of Superheros
The Legion of Superheroes is a bit of a cult concept but at the same time, it has heavy ties to DCU continuity. It also has the largest cast in any comic I can recall. Bendis showed us he is capable of juggling cosmic stories with Guardians of The Galaxy. And he showed us he can certainly handle a huge and dynamic team roster as well; just look at his various Avengers titles. LoS would also allow him to write teenage and young adult characters and themes, something the writer is very good at. I also think the Legion is due to finally become a huge, central and important part of the DCU. Giving the reigns to Bendis would bring both quality and attention to the title.
