That\u2019s right, Marvel fans, Brian Michael Bendis, the man who defined an entire generation of Avengers<\/a>\u2018 storytelling is back at the House of Ideas to lead the Earth\u2019s Mightiest Heroes into a bold, new era. The lauded writer responsible for such titles as New Avengers and Ultimate Spider-Man took a step away some years ago to work exclusively for DC Comics and work on his own creator-owned projects. But with a milestone moment in Avengers history approaching, Bendis is coming home for what Marvel Comics promises to be the start of many projects.<\/p>\n

Rumors about Bendis\u2019 return has been swirling for weeks, spurred on by Marvel Comics\u2019 coy solicitation for Avengers #34, the 800th overall issue in the franchise\u2019s history, which promised a mysterious \u2018blockbuster\u2019 creative team. But the publisher finally put an end to the speculation and confirmed that next month, Brian Michael Bendis was contributing a story to Avengers #34, along with Mark Bagley, who previously worked with Bendis on titles such as Ultimate Spider-Man<\/a>. And no, this isn\u2019t a one-off as both Marvel and Bendis confirm the upcoming story is just the start of what they have planned.<\/p>\n

Anyone remotely familiar with Marvel Comics in the 2000s knows Brian Michael Bendis. The writer became a modern legend with his run on New Avengers<\/a>, which reinvigorated the classic hero team for the new millennium. Bendis was also the mind behind some of Marvel Comics\u2019 biggest events of the \u201900s, including House of M, Secret Invasion, and \u201cDark Reign\u201d (featuring the iconic Dark Avengers). Bendis wasn\u2019t just a powerhouse for the main Marvel Comics line, he was the writer for Ultimate Spider-Man, seen by many as the crown jewel of Marvel\u2019s original Ultimate line<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So what can people expect from Bendis now that he\u2019s back in the captain\u2019s chair? Marvel Comics kept details light, but the publisher did reveal that it would see Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man working together to stop Hydra\u2019s latest weapon of mass destruction. And that they\u2019d be joined by fellow Avengers, both past and present. Other than that, Marvel Comics is keeping the cards close to its chest. But what\u2019s certain is that whatever Marvel has planned for the Avengers, it wants a seasoned pro like Brian Michael Bendis at the helm.<\/p>\n
