    "I'm going to wrap up 'Avengers' and 'New Avengers.' At the same time the first storyline of 'Avengers Assemble' will be done," Bendis told CBR. "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."

    It's over... It's finally over...

    ...This is a good day. Words... Words can't describe how awesome this is...

    Go out on a high note? Is that a polite way of saying "the fans f*cking hate my writing"?

    - I have to see who is taking over before I clap or cry

    - I have issues with some of what Bendis has done on the Avengers but I am far from the biggest detractor.

    - If it turns out to be Johnathan Hickman I would clap, if it turns out to be Greg Pak...well I'll save a few bucks a month

    Until I no longer see Bendis' name on the front cover of Avengers I will wait until I start clapping, hopefully now Marvel will actually get a new writer who will bring some fresh ideas to the series and team. But this is the best news I've heard all day.

    Clapping is necessary simply for the fact that his reign is over.

    He's doing too many books at the moment. Maybe I will finally pick up my first Avengers book if the writer who replaces Bendis is good.

    god I would love it if Slott took over an Avengers book....Slott or Hickman would be my top choices but Hickman's got his hands full with FF, Fantastic Four, and the Ultimate books....I wouldn't want him to take on more than he can chew and lose quality on all of his books....as it is I think that Slott is only writing Amazing Spider-man so he should have some extra time to take one of the Avengers books...plus it would be awesome to have more ties between ASM and the Avengers since it seems like Slott writes them into a lot of story arcs already

    This is one thing. Now, they need to drop this awful event abit, kick Matt Fraction and his oversized mercenary ego and maybe I will buy a Marvel comic again.

    Bendis has done some great things and some highly questionable things, but his chief "problem" was his ubiquity across so many books for so long. His hands were all over every book because he controlled and created the events, and other authors had to march to his tune. This meant that—good or bad—those who dislike his writing had no where they could go to really get away from him (except outside Marvel, of course). This move was overdue.

    My hope is that they don't immediately put someone else in the "Bendis seat" but instead break that workload up and hand it out to multiple authors to provide some variety and to see who sinks and who swims. No "one Bendis to rule them all" nonsense. Let the books get some space from each other. That shouldn't be too hard considering few authors in comics are as prolific with their output as Bendis.

    Of course it wouldn't even matter in the long run because—according to Marvel—people only buy big event books. So even if they have different writers on different titles again, they'll all get into one room for a "summit" and write up events that disrupt the line across the board. If only Marvel wasn't so cheap they could look at the long term profitability of leaving a good book alone rather than going for the quick cash-grab of event after event.

    I hope Waid replaces it... He's only doing Daredevil right now, isn't he?

    Loving all the Bendis hate here, lol... however, this is only a small victory for me, as Bendis still writes Moon Knight, my favorite comic.
