A comic book writer and erstwhile artist. He has won critical acclaim (including five Eisner Awards) and is one of the most successful writers working in mainstream comics. For over eight years Bendis’s books have consistently sat in the top five best sellers on the nationwide comic and graphic novel sales charts. Though he started as a writer and artist of independent noir fiction series, he shot to stardom as a writer of Marvel Comics' superhero books, particularly Ultimate Spider-Man. Bendis first entered the comic world with the "Jinx" line of crime comics in 1995. This line has spawned the graphic novels Goldfish, Fire, Jinx, Torso (with Marc Andreyko), and Total Sell Out. Bendis is writing the film version of Jinx for Universal Pictures with Oscar-winner Charlize Theron attached to star and produce. Bendis’s other projects include the Harvey, Eisner, and Eagle Award-nominated Powers (with Michael Avon Oeming) originally from Image Comics, now published by Marvel's new creator-owned imprint Icon Comics, and the Hollywood tell-all Fortune and Glory from Oni Press, both of which received an "A" from Entertainment Weekly. 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 since its best-selling launch, and has also written for Ultimate Fantastic Four and Ultimate X-Men, as well as every issue of Ultimate Marvel Team-Up, Ultimate Origin and Ultimate Six. Brian is currently helming a renaissance for Marvel’s AVENGERS franchise by writing both New Avengers and Mighty Avengers along with the successful ‘event’ projects House Of M, Secret War, and this summer’s Secret Invasion. He has also previously done work on Daredevil, Alias, and The Pulse.

La historia mejora un poco. El personaje de Miles Morales se vuelve un poco más interesante, y es cuanto menos llamativo el trabajo que hace Bendis por humanizar la situación de catástrofe mundial. Me hizo recordar un poco al cómic del 11S de Spider-Man (Amazing Spiderman #36 de J. Michael Straczynski) por la forma en que coloca a los superhéroes al nivel de los trabajadores de emergencias encargándose más que nada en auxiliar a los niños o a los heridos que combatiendo a la gran amenaza mundial.
En cuanto a guion, me pareció un punto acertado el entender las limitaciones de los personajes y ponerlos en acción según sus capacidades. Me hace un poco de ruido la presencia de Miles Morales en las calles cuando en el último número de The Ultimates Last Stand el personaje se encontraba en una sala de control de daños a punto de cruzar la barrera entre universos, aunque bueno, con un poco de esfuerzo puedo entender que esto ocurrió antes de dichos eventos.
A nivel gráfico, el trabajo de Márquez sigue siendo bueno. Me sigue encantando lo que hace con Cloak, y me parece que su Galactus es incluso mejor logrado que el de Bagley (es a título personal, pero Bagley le había colocado a Galactus algo similar a unas luces led alrededor del rostro que me parecieron horrendos y por suerte Márquez evita ese detalle en el diseño).
Tengo mis dudas si la historia llegaba a las cuatro estrellas, pero definitivamente es un buen número que logra levantar el interés por el evento.

Bem melhor que a primeira edição. O núcleo do Miles nessa edição está progredindo pra uma conclusão um tanto curiosa, e eu estou adorando isso. Vejo essa edição como uma história de transição (até porque várias cenas surgiram convenientemente para construir a tensão do gancho final) e isso me deixa ao mesmo tempo curioso e com medo do que virá na próxima edição, e de como isso vai mudar a vida do Miles. Os outros núcleos estão até legais, mas nada que me chame muito a atenção.
