Writer Brian Michael Bendis posted to social media today in recognition of his first day under contract with DC Comics. While we’re not sure what titles he will be writing for the publisher at this point, he is now underway on the work necessary to get his name published one one of their many offerings. (DC Comics )
Bendis made waves when he announced he had signed an exclusive contract with DC Comics, heralding the end of his nearly 20-year career with Marvel Comics.
After a health scare that saw Bendis hospitalized earlier in December, he worked out an arrangement so that he could finish his duties at Marvel while he gets started with his DC Comics work. He currently writes Invincible Iron Man, Jessica Jones, Defenders, and Spider-Man for the House of Ideas.
