The answer is no. Bendis doesn't try at all.

This.

Putting a lampshade on a turd doesn't keep it from stinking up the joint.

It'd be a lot more powerful if it wasn't for the fact that Bendis is the one writing the Guardians to get involved with Earth shit and more importantly the one writing this whole dumb "Hero vs Hero" event.
There's only ever been one good hero vs hero event in cape comics, and that was AXIS, because it was basically taking the piss out of hero vs hero events. Also is was hilarious.

That just reminded me of Brevoort's comments to Bendis on the early draft of Secret Invasion.

>Agent Brand’s characterization- She’s not really an excited school girl. She’s a sarcastic, all-business, hard-*** who has little time for…anything, really. But, like I said before, I could see that she and Dugan might have a positive relationship. But we usually treat her like she’s the one with the knowledge. She doesn’t ask questions too much. One place in particular that I might ask for a simple change would be reversing the dialogue on pages 18-19 panel 5 so that the agent asks the question and Brand answers it. The only other thing that I might ask is that Brand, rather than radioing the Helicarrier, might be trying to radio S.W.O.R.D. HQ and it might be jammed by XXX XXXXXX.

KLUH was too good for this world.

AXIS wasn't good, man.
It should've been. All the inverted characters were great (Captain /pol/try, Carnage-Man, Kluh, Superior Tony, whatever we're nicknaming Hobgoblin), and most of the tie-ins were a lot of fun, but the book itself was hot garbage.

Abigail Brand keeps being absolutely based I see, glad they aren't at least changing that.

Bendis' Guardians are mostly directionless if not for a couple of loose threads he brings up once a year, but a point of his seems to actually be one where he portrays Quill's team as ultimately failing to bringing *order* to the galaxy. Sure they restore justice here and there, but as to guarding in a general sense? Not so much. Of course this is completely undermined by the fact that, as a running theme and even in Brand's words, EARTH is the center of it all and all the other races seem to do is look over the humans and try and conquer their planet.

How many hero vs. hero events has Marvel had in the past five years, anyways?

>Schism
>AvX
>Battle of the Atom
>AXIS
>CWII
>the upcoming IvX
Interestingly enough, other than Civil War II, every hero vs. hero event of the past 5 years has had the X-men as either one of the sides or both of the sides.

It's simple. There are two Bendises. They always try to one-up each other.
