He co-created Ultimate Spider-Man alongside Mark Bagley and had hugely successful, multi-year\u00a0runs on titles such as\u00a0Avengers, New Avengers, Dark Avengers, Alias, and Daredevil.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even that list barely scratches the surface, and when Bendis jumped ship to DC Comics, there was a lot of excitement among fans. His Superman\u00a0was fine, but it didn&#8217;t quite resonate in the same way as his Marvel Comics work did.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bleedingcool.com\/comics\/will-brian-bendis-return-to-the-avengers-for-marvel-comics\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bleeding Cool<\/a> has learned that Bendis is returning to the Marvel Universe in 2026. The question is, which series will he be working on?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The site doesn&#8217;t know, but it put forward three likely possibilities.\u00a0Saladin Ahmed&#8217;s Daredevil run ended last month and was widely considered a disappointment after Charles Soule&#8217;s and Chip Zdarsky&#8217;s respective stints writing the Man Without Fear.<\/p>\n<p>Marvel Comics has yet to reveal the title&#8217;s next creative team.\u00a0With Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 set for a March 2026 premiere, Bendis&#8217;s return there makes sense.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, next January&#8217;s\u00a0Miles Morales: Spider-Man #42 has been described as the finale of the series. The character has somewhat stagnated in recent years, so bringing Bendis back into the fold for a fresh start with the character he co-created would be welcomed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Avengers #800, meanwhile, is solicited to include <strong>&#8220;a surprise can&#8217;t-miss blockbuster return creative team from Avengers&#8217; past.&#8221;<\/strong> The implication is that\u00a0it could\u00a0set the stage for Bendis to take over the series again, heading into 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That does seem like the most likely possibility for the writer right now, though we&#8217;re sure many of you will be rooting for Daredevil. Bendis, alongside artist Alex Maleev, completely redefined the character in the early 2000s, and could surely do so again now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The publisher recently released its January 2026 solicitations, and with no mention of Bendis\u00a0there, we&#8217;d bet on his return being made official in the next couple of months.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Which comic book series would you like to see Bendis in charge of upon his long-awaited Marvel Comics return?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/imgbox.com\/IXZcpuhm\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"image host\" class=\"lazyload blur-up\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IXZcpuhm_o.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 EARTH&#8217;S MIGHTIEST HEROES mark a critical MILESTONE with eight hundred issues!<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u2022 Everything has been building toward this: MYRDDIN&#8217;s ENDGAME!<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u2022 KANG stands revealed at the precipice of a NEW UNIVERSE!<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u2022 PLUS: A SURPRISE CAN&#8217;T-MISS BLOCKBUSTER RETURN CREATIVE TEAM FROM AVENGERS&#8217; PAST!<\/p>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>AVENGERS #34 (LEGACY #800)<\/strong><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nWritten by JED MACKAY &amp; SURPRISE WRITER<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nArt by FARID KARAMI &amp; SURPRISE ARTIST<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nWraparound Connecting Cover by RUSSELL DAUTERMAN<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nOn Sale 12\/3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brian Michael Bendis&#8217;s achievements\u00a0in the Marvel Universe are many.
