What started eight (I know, right?) years ago is set to come to an end in 2012. Brian Michael Bendis, longtime architect of Marvel's Avengers line, revealed in an interview with CBR that he'd be wrapping up his many plot threads by the end of the year and moving onto other projects.
"I'm going to wrap up Avengers and New Avengers. At the same time the first storyline of Avengers Assemble will be done," Bendis said. "It's a good time to move on to other things. Before I go, though, I'm ending things big. I'm in countdown mode. You know when you're watching a show like 'Breaking Bad,' and every episode feels like the second to last episode? That's where I'm at. I've been on the Avengers longer than anybody in the history of the book. When you take everything into account, I've written over 200 issues. I'm very, very proud of that, and what we have coming up this summer gives me the opportunity to go out on a high note. I know enough about showbiz to know that's a great time to go."
The writer also discussed his plans for Norman Osborn and H.A.M.M.E.R., Storm's role on the team, and much more in the interview, so head on over to CBR to check it out. In addition to this bombshell, Marvel also announced their 2012 event series, Avengers vs. X-Men. Check out what we know so far.
What are your favorite moments of Bendis' Avengers run? Sound off below!
If you don't know what Bendis did for Avengers we what he did
1) He was the who made Avengers matter again and the reason we have an Avengers movie
2)Put Wolverine and Spider-Man (the two biggest sellers) on the team
3) Made Luke Cage a real character rather than just a niche stereotype
4) Turned Norman Osborn into Marvel's Lex Luthor
5) Took the Hood, and gave the Masters of Evil a fresh and relevant leader
And Please No Matt Fraction,Give me Ed Brubaker as writer
