Why is this shit allowed? Why haven't Marvel editorial seen through his trick yet?
>Bendis increases Avengers sales by replacing the cast with more popular characters
>Bendis (temporarily) increases X-men sales by replacing the cast with more popular characters
>Bendis increases Ironman sales by replacing the cast with more popular characters

Because it's his job to make books sell?
>>84441595
Anyone could do what he does though, that doesn't justify making him their number 1 writer
>>84441616
but he sucks cock good
>>84441616
Even if he don't do it, his books sell?
>>84441634
>Even if he don't do it, his books sell?
List one example
>>84441630
Like Owl.
>>84441634
W-Who, Bendis? Micheal Bendis? The comic guy?
>>84441616
He did it for well over a decade. This was before the movies became a thing.
>>84441716
For example?
>>84441650
Like u.
>>84441421
Tried the same shit with Moon Knight and that eventually crashed and burned.

Avengers. From his disassembled to Siege ALL of his Avengers was comics from New to Mighty to Dark was in the top 10 every month. Marvel movies became a thing post Secret Invasion and Avengers was a B list franchise up until Bendis's Era.

What the fuck are you talking about?
That's the exact point made in the OP
His Avengers run only sold because he added Spiderman and Wolverine to the team
>>84442277
Regardless, it sells.
>>84441421
>get to write books that are already popular and sell well
>get all the praise as if you're the reason they sell well
Him and Slott are taking the company down by ruining their best titles.
>>84441616
So if everyone could do it, why they don't do it?
Like, you do realize Bendis is the only one with guts to do that kind of stuff. I remember reading a recollection of the time he presented his plan to bring Spider-Man, Thing and Wolverine to the Avengers and the whole room called him nuts and crazy and what a stupid idea that would be.
Take this example, what happens if Al Ewing gets the Guardians of the Galaxy? Chances are he's gonna fill it with obscure characters he likes because that's what he likes to do, and that's fine, it probably woud be an awesome book. But then the book would never reach the same heights in sales it reached when Bendis was around.

>why they don't do it?
they don't have the authority
>>84442364
to be fair, Slott did increase the sales of ASM. Bendis not so much, with X-Men at least. He was selling about the same as Gillen, and I am sure Gillen was cheaper.
>>84444896
X-men went down slightly with Bendis
And they're using tricks to boost Ironman sales
