Peter David is still writing Spider-Man 2099 and it's a really good book, Bendis? He's always had his critics, and I never liked his Avengers work, but he's doing a decent job on X-Men. Ultimate Spider-Man is still good (even though Bendis gave no clear answer as to how Peter came back from the dead before putting him and MJ on a bus)

PD's doing 2099??!! Ooh, I may have to start reading it! I loveloveLOVE his work. I do like Bendis' Avengers, have ever since New Avengers #1. Didn't know he's doing X-Men- which one though? Uncanny, X-Men(no prefix), or Astonishing? Or have they changed titles again? Is he still doing Avengers as well? I'm SOOO out of the loop on Marvel since that OMIT arc- haven't really read anything since then, due to A) not having a comic shop within 30 miles of me. B) Don't read solicits anymore (not much point when I can't get em without breaking the bank), and C) the only thing I've been reading is TMNT trades when I can save up for one or two.

I think that Marvel Studios has done wonders for comic book movies. I was highly disappointed in all the X-men movies that fox did and Sony (though they did better than Fox) also have pissed me off with both spiderman franchises. As a long time comic book reader I'd have to say the marvel cinematic universe has done nothing but please me since Disney acquired the property. The only thing I am sad about is the fact that we will probably never see another R rated Marvel related film. I would really like to see another Punisher movie.

OOOOHH YES WE WILL!!! One word- Deadpool. I've seen the test footage, and it's clearly going to be R, if I'm any judge. I honestly don't see that one being "kid-friendly". AT ALL. Not with him as the main character.

I thought so too after I saw the test footage but I've heard reports since then saying it most likely will be pg13.

Definitely dip into it. It's well worth a read, and one of the only tolerable Spidey books on the market. Gerry Conway is also coming back to write a new Spider-Man title in the months following Spider-Verse called "Spiral"

Bendis is no longer on Avengers, that's been primarily handled the last three or four years by Johnathan Hickman and the forthcoming Secret Wars event has been built up in that run. Bendis I think now works on Uncanny and All-New X-Men, where he basically had Beast bring the original five core X-Men from the past all the way to the present and they've been causing all sorts of problems

When it comes to the comics Disney doesn't meddle. Any thing that Marvel has been doing wrong in the comics as of late is not Disney's doing.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 01-25-2015, 05:07 PM

Agreed. That all started with Quesada's meddling. And seems to have continued, for some odd reason. They really need to boot some of the hacks they've had on both writing and editorial staff.

I really need you guys' help to convince him otherwise. Do you think that it is Disney's fault that Marvel movies are "screwed up"?

Ruined the Marvel movies? Marvel's movies have gotten better on average.

Do you miss the days of Daredevil, Elektra, and the Fantastic Four movies?

At least Marvel didn't have the atrocity of Catwoman to their (dis)credit....
