Has Brian Bendis Suggested A Way Out Of Current Marvel Continuity Woes?
Yesterday saw Brian Bendis and Alex Maleev bring us a new chapter of Infamous Iron Man, the one in which Doctor Doom is swanning around pretending to be Iron Man, as The Thing and the Human Torch had a brief mini-Fantastic Four reunion. Which did suggest that possibly the upcoming Marvel Two-In-One series might even be helmed by Bendis. He's done his level best to write Fantastic Four comics books of late, but it seems he just hasn't been allowed to do it properly because of Marvel party politics. Could Marvel Two-In-One be his almost-way in? Mindless speculation of course there.
But for those who haven't been keen on recent Marvel Comics storytelling direction, you may find a secret ally in Bendis. Who may even have his characters criticising his own plots and finding a quick and easy way out. First dealing with the effect of the Ultimate Mister Fantastic, surviving from the Ultimate Universe as The Maker…
And then The Thing has what one might call an epiphany. Something that might not only apply to Bendis' own work on the title, but to, well, pick any Marvel title that you have a problem with. If you do. Everyone's different. I'm on the opinion that the best X-Men book right now is Totally Awesome Hulk. I'm sure you have your own, very personal snark. Anyway, whatever it is, the Thing has the answer.
This isn't just a throwaway either. Brian Bendis has been notably absent from his range of books' involvement with Secret Empire, but has been pushing the idea that alternate universes have been poking themselves into the Marvel Universe of late, over in Jessica Jones.
Just saying, still pure mindless speculation, but if one were to foreshadow a big red reset button on something or other, this might be the way one would do it.
Infamous Iron Man #9 by Brian Bendis and Alex Maleev was published this week by Marvel Comics.
