Posted: 112717

After being with Marvel for almost 18 years Brian Michael Bendis signed a three year exclusive contract with DC. From most reports he will begin working there at the beginning of January. Marvel knew about the move and there are no hard feelings between him and the company. The reasons why according to Bendis were he wanted to try something new but there are rumors surrounding that decision. Bleeding Cool has reported that the move had something to do with the Marvel Comics Writers Summit that happened before NYCC 2017. None of the books he worked on had a connection with Secret Empire. Sales of his books had gone down and he was starting to turn in his scripts late. He wasn’t likely to get a raise and he had written every Marvel character he was interested in except the Fantastic Four. The move will get him involved with the films based on DC characters since his connection with the Marvel films ended when Kevin Feige started reporting to Disney and not Marvel. So he made the move and worked out his deal. Before he goes he will be given the chance to wrap up all his storylines at Marvel while setting up the directions his books will go to. Marvel has plans for Riri Williams and a new female writer for Jessica Jones has already been picked. Bendis will create an all new character for Marvel before he leaves their stage.
