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!
4. Red Robin
For comic readers of a certain age, Tim Drake was their Robin (he sure was mine). Drake always had an average teen vibe that really helped connect with readers. Now that Tim is slightly older and taken the identity of Red Robin, it’s the perfect time to give him a new book with Bendis at the helm. Look at the great work Bendis did on Ultimate Spider-Man, with both Peter Parker and Miles Morales. He could bring that same level of drama, humor, action, and adventure to a ‘legacy’ character.
