In part two of our conversation with superstar creator Brian Michael Bendis, the conversation gets a little more freewheeling–we keep coming back to Spider-Men, as it just began, but aren’t as married to it here, discussing Powers, Avengers vs. X-Men, Takio and more.What did he tell us about his super-secret upcoming projects? Essentially nothing–just that he’s already in the thick of them. But read on to find out more. Haven’t read part one yet? Check that out here first.
Obviously in addition to Spider-Men, you’re doing Avengers Assemble—which I thought was a mini, but apparently it’s an ongoing because there are rumors that it’s changing hands now.
Well, but let’s be honest—Marvel books are generally more accessible than DC books, with a handful of exceptions and allowing for the New 52. So whether or not it’s technically in the movie continuity, fans of the movie really shouldn’t have too much trouble following it.

And it’s kind of a no-win, isn’t it? Because if you don’t recap, then it’s “Well, he really didn’t give us anything to work with there, did he?” But if you do—how many times in your career have you heard, “He’s too wordy”?
Well, and I have stories a lot of the time where I know a segment of the readers will come out and flame me in the comments or on Facebook, but I write them anyway because that segment is a minority and I know most people will be interested in the story and gravitate toward it and want to read it. So sometimes—and I’m sure you do this too—I write something and as I’m writing I just know who’s gonna complain.
