Brian Michael Bendis (born 1967) is an American With Bendis maintains a high online-profile, through both his official website [http://www.jinxworld.com/ Jinxworld] (also the company through which he produces "Powers" and his Marvel work) and the so-called " [http://www.606studios.com/bendisboard/ Bendis Board] " message board. He is known for sarcastic and often Biography Brian Michael Bendis was born on August 18, 1967 in Cleveland, He met his future wife Alisa in 1995 through the Cleveland chapter of the He lives in Early comics work Childhood Bendis recalls always wanting to work in the comics field, having "announced when I was like 13 to all my friends that I was going to be While in High School, he submitted for a " Between the ages of 20 and 25, he sent in a large number of submissions to comics companies, although he ultimately stopped his attempts to break into the industry this way, considering it too much of a "lottery."Bendis, Brian Michael and Oeming, Michael Avon, "Powers" TPB Vol. 3 - "Little Deaths" (Image, 2002), ISBN 1-58240-670-7] Before writing comics professionally, Bendis used to work in a comic book store in Cleveland. Influences His first favorite genre was, he says, "Marvel superhero comics," before he discovered crime comics by He cites as a major artistic influence "people who produced a lot of work" like Artwork, Caliber and Crime comics Best known as a writer, Bendis started out as an artist, "doing work for local mags and papers, even doing Through Caliber, he met many of his longtime friends and collaborators within the comics industry, including " His best-known early work - "Jinx", starring the titular Most of these early works share a common universe, with "Goldfish", "Fire", "Jinx", "Torso" and (stories from) " He characterizes much of this period of his professional life in terms of working as "a graphic artist for almost twelve years" undergoing a period within that of "nine years" living as a stereotypical 'starving artist'. Mainstream comics work Bendis and Mack both "joke that we had to wait till everyone else left comics before we got our shot," recalling that a large number of creators exited the comics field in the early nineties, either having made a large amount of money during the speculator boom, or having given up hope of doing so. Bendis and Mack (among others) "were going to stay either way," content writing their "black and white comics" for Caliber and their own enjoyment, before they were fortunate to be hired by larger companies - Bendis says that, upon leaving Caliber (c. 1996/1997) "I got my film back, I took my books, I published them somewhere else, it ended well." In the process of moving from Caliber to Image, Bendis " [laid down] frontline visual responsibilities," describing this shift, he notes that " [t] he day I stopped drawing I became hugely successful." With the move of his series "Jinx" from Caliber Comics to Image's This proved to be a very fortuitous move, as, Bendis says::"...Todd McFarlane... couldn't be a better boss as far as creative stuff goes. He hires you to do something and lets you do it." He wrote "Sam and Twitch" for twenty issues, and also wrote (most of) the first ten of the "Spawn" spin-off title "Hellspawn", which non-creator-owned work allowed him to, in the words of Rich Kriener in " Marvel Around the time Bendis began "Sam and Twitch", his friend David Mack began working for Invited to pitch ideas for Marvel Knights comics - which included a planned, but ultimately un-produced Major Marvel works Daredevil Bendis' first major work for Marvel Comics began in 2001, when he took over writing duties on the Bendis wrote most of the following 55 issues before handing over the title to writer As a major Daredevil author, Bendis is name-checked in the "Daredevil" movie. The corrupt boxing manager tries to persuade Jack Murdock to throw his fight, referencing bribed boxers "Miller...Mack... [and] Bendis". The former two refer to former Daredevil writer/(artist) Frank Miller and (writer)/artist David Mack. Alias and The Pulse Launched under Marvel's non- The move from "Alias" to "The Pulse", and out-of-continuity to "in"-continuity has been cited by Bendis as being precipitated by the necessary limitations on using Marvel's wider stable of characters in the "Mature reader" line. The crticial and commercial success of the series led to it being the second (after "Fantastic Four" Vol. 1) title to be collected in the " Ultimate Marvel Bendis is one of the premiere architects of Marvel's "Ultimate" line: comics specifically created for the new generation of comic readers. He has written every issue of " Ultimate Spider-man The flagship title of the Ultimate Marvel universe repositioned Adapting the 11-page debut/origin story of Peter Parker into a 180-page epic of decompressed storytelling, spanning seven issues, (with Peter only becoming the titular hero after the "fifth" issue), Bendis' approach nonetheless became a runaway bestseller, regularly surpassing in sales those of the mainstream Marvel universe title " Bendis continues to write every issue and, despite initial attempts to keep the comic free from continuity baggage, instead transformed the title by adapting mainstream storylines and characters into their Ultimate counterparts, often with slight differences. The Bendis/Bagley partnership of 110 consecutive issues made their partnership one of the longest in comics' history, beating the Marvel record of Ultimate Marvel Team-Up Bendis cites "Ultimate Marvel Team-Up" (the "Ultimate" iteration of long-running Marvel title " This, he says "was always a wild experience. It was exhausting. It was very hard, it was the hardest job I ever had." Artists featured in the series included Avengers & events In 2004, Bendis (with artist A key moment in "Avengers" #502 sees the death of Avenger Hawkeye, which high-profile demise saw something of a fan backlash, but also brought to the fore, in Bendis' experience a "segment of the comic-buying community that I'm not a part of which goes, 'Kill more of them, it's awesome!'" Of the fan response to the "Disassembled" storyline, Bendis says "I can't say I'm disappointed with the reaction to it, because it has been a very impassioned reaction, so it's fun to be a part of." In 2005, with artist After the events of Marvel's "Civil War" storyline, Bendis helmed another "Avengers" revival, launching a companion title to "New Avengers" with Unconnected to the 1980s Marvel event title " Bendis revealed some of his post-Secret Invasion plans at the Diamond Comics Distributors' retailer summit in September 2008. These included leaving "Mighty Avengers" with issue #20, as part of the Secret Invasion aftermath, "Dark Reign", that would see the launch of " Powers Aside from his early, Debuting from As well as winning praise and awards, "Powers" has been referenced in the song "Powers" by singer Bendis the writer When asked by his Powers collaborator He does say however, that writing comes much more naturally than the "struggle drawing is and was," allowing him to be typically "way ahead of schedule," up to - at least before the birth of his child [http://www.popimage.com/industrial/060600bendis1int.html "An Interview with Brian Michael Bendis by Adrian Reynolds" Part 1] . Accessed June 16, 2008] - "six months ahead on all of my books." This he achieves by writing complete story arcs in a short space of time, and alternating between titles, which allows him the freedom to not worry about looming deadlines. The extra flexibility also allows him to "question... the purpose of" a story idea, which he feels "needs to say something other than just being cool." Bendis likes "breaking out of [his] comfort zone... trying to do" things he doesn't know if he does well to gain experience and "see if it works... attempt [ing] styles and genres I never though I would try, specifically to see why." Bendis has been regularly praised for "adopt [ing] more naturalistic patterns of communication, including a focus on the various ways people struggle, in real life, to adequately express their ideas." Popular culture author and commentator Advice His advice to writers is simple: cquote|"write honestly. Don't write what you think people want. All people want is not to be insulted. They want to be entertained... If you write something you think people want, you will always fail... [If something] is all the rage, and you sit down and write [something similar] , by the time you get [it] out there for people to see, people will have moved on... and now you're stuck with this... thing that no one wants, including you. The best thing you can offer the world as a writer is something you'd like to read, something that you would buy.""Powers: Building the Page": Bendis, for "Draw!" magazine #5 (TwoMorrows, Winter 2003) "in" Bendis, Brian Michael and Oeming, Michael Avon, "Powers" TPB Vol. 4 - "Supergroup" (Image, 2003), ISBN 1-58240-671-5] He feels that while there are "some comic creators who act above the fans," output is more important than personality, saying::"Here's an idea: Just read the books and enjoy them." Criticism Actions Although initial fan interest in, and feelings towards the "Ultimate Spider-Man" concept was luke-warm, (and Bendis himself has noted the trepidation with which he submitted his script featuring Peter Parker out of costume for long stretches of time), the Ultimate Universe idea swiftly overcame such concerns, to become one of Marvel's best-selling titles. Although a prime example of the often-derided practice of "decompression," Bendis' relaxed manner draws as much praise for it's natural rhythms and realistic dialog as it draws ire and criticism for being "tedious" and "boring". [http://www.aintitcool.com/node/18579#2 Review of "Avengers" #502 in "AICN Comics!: In the Shadow of No Towers, Daredevil, Avengers, X-Men, Six and More!" by Gregory Scott] . Accessed July 8, 2008] Far and away Bendis's most controversial move came in 2004 when he wrote the death of longstanding fan favorite Avenger Hawkeye in "Avengers" #502, and was swiftly on the receiving end of an extreme fan backlash, not least for being - in the words of " Bendis has been known to offer readers a refund if they buy and dislike comics he writes, should they wish to return the title to him. tyle Facing considerable criticism over the years from fans who consider his work "too wordy," Bendis acknowledges this potential failing in his own work. In interview with Michael Avon Oeming, Oeming noted::"if I had to name one weakness in your work, I'd have to say it was your inability to self-edit... sometimes I look at the amount of words on a page and it goes beyond a wordy page to an impossibly wordy page."Bendis partly explained his verboseness by saying that "I hate that comics are so expensive, so I try to cram a lot in. I feel very beholden to people to give them a good read." He does acknowledge that "clearly, I have trouble with the format of a comic. I have trouble keeping to my page count and have for years... either go [ing] over my page count or tak [ing] a scene that could be a nice four pager and.. cram [ming] it into two pages because I have no wiggle room." Non-comics work In addition to his primary work for comics, Bendis has produced written work in several other mediums. These include: pider-man animation Bendis was the co-executive producer and series-pilot writer for Bendis was approached to write the pilot while "unaware the pilot [initially] had no home," (he thought it had already been greenlit), chosen for the role due to his position as "Ultimate Spider-man" writer, even though the series featured an older - college-age - Peter Parker than in the "Ultimate" universe. Visually similar to MainFrame's " This approach not only reflects the Bendis himself also tired of the animation process, feeling that there were "way too many corporations involved" (" Awards Bendis has won a number of prestigious He is a recipient of the Cleveland Press "Excellence in Journalism" Award (2000) and has been named "Best Writer of the Year" by " Activision's "Ultimate Spider-Man" (which he scripted) won the Cameo appearances * "Powerless" #5 (December 2004), written by elect Bibliography Created and owned by Bendis *"Fire" (published originally by Caliber and later by Image) Image Comics *" Marvel Comics *"Alias" #1-28 DC Comics *"Citizen Wayne" in "Batman Chronicles" #21 ( Notes References * [http://www.howtomakecomics.net/people/Brian+Michael+Bendis Brian Michael Bendis' Resources at Howtomakecomics.net] External links * [http://www.jinxworld.com/ Jinxworld: Brian Michael Bendis' official homepage] Источник: Brian Michael Bendis
