For nearly a decade, Bendis redefined Avengers storytelling, revitalizing the franchise for the 21st century. Always at the center of the Marvel Universe and at the pulse of modern pop culture, his groundbreaking run launched now-classic Marvel events like HOUSE OF M<\/a>, SECRET INVASION<\/a>, and DARK REIGN<\/a>, and his transformative work on the Marvel mythos is still heavily felt today. Now he’s back, starting with AVENGERS #34 and continuing with more exciting new Marvel stories just on the horizon!<\/p>\n

“Returning to the pages of Marvel Comics has been an incredible experience,” Bendis shared. “To reunite with the Avengers on the occasion of an anniversary is doubly wonderful because anniversary issues are where we really celebrate our love of the characters and legacy. I made my Avengers debut on Avengers #500. I love the symmetry.<\/p>\n

“AND I get to reunite with my dear longtime Ultimate Spidey AND Avengers collaborator Mark Bagley. Just reuniting would be magical enough, but him coming out of retirement to do this story with me was an incredible gesture. He has already penciled magical pages. It’s been a wonderful reunion between us AND the characters. Thanks to everyone at Marvel for having me back for such an auspicious occasion,” he added. “This is the first of some truly special Marvel projects that I will be part of in the near future. Stay tuned\u2026”<\/p>\n
