Brian Bendis' switch from Marvel to DC was the comics event of the summer, with the creator having ended his twenty year association with the House of Ideas pretty much out of the blue.

No other writer, artist or otherwise has had as big an influence on Marvel in the last three decades than Bendis, so it stands to reason that whatever he has planned for DC will be equally as big. Given rumours that he decided to switch companies on account of his infatuation with Superman, it could be the case that his first project for the publisher will be related to the Man of Steel, although he has dabbled with Batman in the past.

Regardless of whatever Bendis' comic will be, it's undeniably exciting to see him at DC, particularly when he's managed to end his tenure at Marvel on a high-note with The Defenders, Spidey and more.

Bendis still has to wrap things up at Marvel following a spell in hospital, but now that he's back and raring to go, the thought of what he has planned for the future has us all very excited indeed.
