Bendis is an amazing writer and artist who ended up being a "just a writer" . His first bulk of work consists of dark crime-stories which have been collected in large paperbacks with lots of extra-material. These books are like dvds!
"Torso", "Jinx", "Fire" and "Goldfish" were recognized by the comic-media for it's brilliant dialogues. It was obvious that this guy had his shit together.
Following up was "Fortune and Glory", a mini-series about a writer trying to sell a script in Hollywood. But the big thing is "Powers", an ongoing series put out by Image Comics.

Bendis describes the series as "pretty high concept" at it is.
"It's about Walker and Pilgrim, two homicide detectives who work specifically cases that deal with super-powered homicides and by doing so, they end up unpeeling and looking under ther rocks of the various superheroes and the world they live in, and it's kind of a VH1 'Behind the Music' perspective on superheroes where we have one-hit wonders, legends, icons, scandals and all the facets of modern celebrities, mixed with the super-heroics we all grew up with."

The concept is brilliant and Frank Oz will do the movie-version.

"Powers" is collected in Paperbacks as well and it'S one of the most original series in years.
It also got Bendis a job at Marvel where he writes Ultimate Spider-Man, Daredevil and Alias.
Daredevil has always been the only interesting Marvel-title since it always had interesting new writers and artists. Bendis is doing a great job here and Alias is the best title in the new line of adult-orientated Max-comics. It's the story of a female ex-superhero who has turned privat-detective. It's another great read. Spider-Man, I don't care, but that's where the money is made and Bendis has also signed up as the writer for the new tv-cartoon starring old webhead.

Brian Michael Bendis set new standards. It's not only the brilliant dialogues he writes and the nice twists he comes up with, it's also that large amount of work he gets done every month while still operating a funny message-board under the banner of his website jinxworld.com. This guy puts out some of the most interesting shit in the entertainment-industry right now and he's still getting better and better with his indie-title "Powers".
