Daredevil Message Board

You know how sometimes it feels like artists' "interviews" are nothing more than prescripted advertising based on talking points? Bendis has officially made it an Olympic sport. Tell us, Bendis, off the cuff, how the Skrulls are going to be cool this time. Hey, and while you're at it try to throw in a few examples:

...I'm a broken record at this point, but I'll say it anyway:

I agree, these days Bendis seems more and more like a politician or Marvel marketing employee than a creative writer. I find I get more out of his interviews and spoilers than I do his writing. That's sad because years ago, his works like Alias and early Daredevil were such solid storytelling that no spoiler could ever do the works justice. These classic stories were never about the big reveal but the story itself. Now, the Bendis story is a tool to tell the big reveal and I honestly feel more entertained by reading the spoilers than reading his books.

You should stop taking this so seriously. Bendis wants to write about aliens, so he's writing about aliens. If this were the European or Japanese comic industries, where the art and storytelling of comics was actually considered a viable artform, and the industry raked in obscene profits, I'd understand your reaction. This is an American superhero comic, however. This is the industry that gave us stories like when Electro fired Daredevil into space in the Fantastic Four's rocket, and Daredevil somehow managed to pilot it back to earth. Or when Batman flew into outerspace with the Blue Beetle (In a Beetle-shaped spaceship) to blow up Brother Eye in Infinite Crisis. These kinds of stories are still being written today.

You should be complaining about Leinil Yu's increasingly unintelligible chicken-scratch on every page of New Avengers, and the fact that he claims he can do more than one book, but Marvel isn't letting him. I say once you draw one book where I can tell who's who, then we'll move onto a second.
