Brian Michael Bendis leaves Marvel for DC

Writer Brain Michael Bendis leaves Marvel for DC. I knew it would happen one day, I didn't think this soon though. Marvel and D.C. trade all their writers and artists from time to time as the two companies pretty much have stranglehold on the industry (artist John Romita Jr. left to DC for the first time ever in his decades long career a few years ago).

There's pretty much three options - Marvel, DC, and creator owned, under which you pretty much just go to whichever company takes you or gives you the best deal (usually Image).

But this is still pretty big news as Bendis has been one of the go to "architects" at Marvel for a decade at least (edit: 17 years it turns out). I'm actually excited to see what he'll do at DC.
