NOT A HOAX!
NOT A DREAM!
NOT AN IMAGINARY TALE!
The Avengers' conflict with Norman Osborn won't be the only reason why next year will be a big one for the series and the team. "There's a lot going on in 2012 with the Avengers. We've got the movie, and there are some announcements coming," Bendis said. "I can reveal that there is an 'Avengers' #24.1 coming by me and Brandon Peterson. It's the first time we've ever worked together, and I'm pretty excited about that. Much like the 'New Avengers' point one issue I did with Neil Adams, it's going to unveil where the book is headed for the summer."
And not only will 2012 will be a particularly big year for Marvel's top-billed super team, it will also mark Bendis' last year working on the Avengers titles. The writer began crafting the adventures of Earth's Mightiest Heroes in 2004, and after eight years, he's finally ready to bring his run to an end.
"I'm going to wrap up 'Avengers' and 'New Avengers.' At the same time the first storyline of 'Avengers Assemble' will be done," Bendis told CBR. "It's a good time to move on to other things. Before I go, though, I'm ending things big. I'm in countdown mode. You know when you're watching a show like 'Breaking Bad,' and every episode feels like the second to last episode? That's where I'm at. I've been on the Avengers longer than anybody in the history of the book. When you take everything into account, I've written over 200 issues. I'm very, very proud of that, and what we have coming up this summer gives me the opportunity to go out on a high note. I know enough about showbiz to know that's a great time to go."

In my opinion, it's a little later than I would have preferred. I would rather have seen him go around "Siege." But that being said, the up-coming "Avengers vs X-Men" event, as well as the return of the original Vision, the redemption of Scarlet Witch, and what appears to be a major battle with Osborne -- it really appears as though Bendis is cleaning up after himself. And his final story being called "Assembled?" I like that a lot.
DISCUSS! Let the shouting and raving and ranting and old-school Marvel-loving, anti-Bendis, pro-Bendis, NuMarvel hating/loving debates begin!
