This might be nit-picky, but I believe Joe Quesada was editor of Marvel Knights when he brought BMB to Marvel. He became EIC soon after.

Correct. I'll fix this. rst20xx 13:11, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

The links for 'Jinx' in this page resolve to the wrong character.

[edit] Daredevil movie cameo

The info that his name, along with Frank Miller's and David Mack's, is listed in Daredevil the movie appears under both the Trivia heading and the Cameo appearances heading. I don't think this needs to be mentioned twice; any thoughts on which heading should keep it? Newt 13:22, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TCJ

Does anyone have the Comics Journal interview he did? I'd like to add something here about how he accidentally wrote the same scene of a person talking to someone in a coma into four different comics after his wife was in a coma for a day. Unfortunately, I do not have said magazine. Any help? --Chris Griswold 18:56, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reverted recent edits

Every single one of 63.138.149.130's edits was putting a negative bias on Bendis's article. I reverted them.--CyberGhostface 14:36, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I actually think the whole article still comes across as very anti-Bendis. It seems very keen to report all the reasons he is disliked in great detail, whilst only very briefly and grudgingly admitting that he sells in vast quantities, is highly critically acclaimed (especially his run on Daredevil which gets very scant recognition here) and has won a lot of awards. I'm not expert enough to do it, but I hope someone soon will correct the Bendis-is-an-asshole bias that the page is currently displaying. Hatchet-jobs aren't very encyclopaedic... --Cardinal Wurzel 21:10, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Jesus Christ...this article is a mess. They might as well say Bendis is the second coming of Satan. The whole thing is massively uncited pov. I removed most of it.--CyberGhostface 02:27, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Rewrote my rewrite of the article to make it less negative; that said, the previous version (prior to my changes) was too pro-Bendis in terms of utterly ignoring the fact that Bendis is NOT as loved as everyone says that he is and that in spite of his sales that his recent output since coming to Marvel has gained negative reviews from many fans. Especially since he took over Avengers, which has served as a watershed moment in which even Bendis's top supporters have come out to state that the emperer has no clothes on. Bendis is the new Rob Liefeld in terms of him selling books that are of extremely poor qualitywise.{{unsigned|216.145.85.31))

Found this in the history. Why did you remove it? Also, if you honestly believe the drivel that you wrote was balanced, then I'd shudder to believe what you'd consider to be actually biased.--CyberGhostface 17:24, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anal?

The controversial sex scene in the first issue of Alias was primarily controversial because it was anal sex. This aticle has been edited to remove references to "anal" sex. Why? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.251.101.34 (talk) 18:22, 2 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Inaccurate POV?

That's accurate; he's taken a lot of flak about that. And I'm trying to make this more NPOV, it's too pro-Bendis as it is right now. Thanos6 18:38, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Except that two of those characters aren't dead anymore, and one was planned by Bendis ahead of time to bring back.--CyberGhostface 19:07, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

But he wasn't the one who revived Vision, Scott Lang is still in the next world, and at the time (and still today) the deaths were/are perceived as insulting. Thanos6 19:16, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

If you're going to add it then you should at least mention how Bendis had Hawkeye planned out from the beginning.--CyberGhostface 19:29, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I will if you can give me a source; this is honestly the first I'd heard of it. Thanos6 19:38, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Bendis said when HoM came out he had planned for Hawkeye to come back. --CyberGhostface 20:05, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, I need an actual, documented source. Thanos6 00:03, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
