Give It a Rest
Brian Bendis used to be one of those writers whose works I actively searched out. However, since moving to Marvel he seems to have slid deep into the current Marvel cheapshot and bathroom humor crowd that is currently running the show over there. Plus, the stuff of his I was reading seemed to be going stale.
At the current Wizrd World Chicago convention he mentioned that he had a fantastic idea for a Batman / Daredevil story that everyone loved except Paul Levitz, the president and publisher of DC Comics. Paul's reason: he has a professional problem with Marvel's Editor in Chief, Joe Quesada.
This I understand. Quesada is not only the Editor in Chief over there, he's also the Chief Gumba for the company. Repeatedly putting down and taking pot shots at DC in public forums like everyone is in high school. I don't blame Levitz and DC waiting for change in Marvel management before doing any more company crossover stories.
What I don't understand is what Bendis hoped to gain by blabbing this and making this the entire topic of a panel at Wizard World Chicago. It just makes him look so childish to run around with this story and then end it by waving his finger at Paul Levitz.
Grow up.
