Yet another chance for Bendis to continue to infest the Avengers universe and overstay his welcome. The man doesn't know how to take a hint. In the wake of Siege, the Avengers were reorganized into several books, and unfortunately Bendis continued to have a stranglehold on two of them at the time. This is one of them, with Luke Cage and a squad confronting a magical crisis. Bendis has a horrible style of writing, completely incapable of writing characters with their own distinct voices. He has no respect, none at all, for continuity and history. And he infests the book with his pet character Jessica Jones, a character who pretty much destroyed any credibility Cage had as a character (he's much, much less annoying being written by much better writers). Unfortunately Bendis seems to be the flavour of the moment and the best friend of the man who still pulls the strings at Marvel.
