Brian Michael Bendis (/ˈbɛndɪs/; born August 18, 1967) is an American comic book writer and artist. Starting with crime and noir comics, Bendis eventually moved to mainstream superhero work. While at Marvel Comics, Bendis worked with Bill Jemas and Mark Millar as the writer on the first book of the Ultimate Marvel imprint, Ultimate Spider-Man, which debuted in 2000. He relaunched the Avengers franchise with New Avengers in 2004, wrote the Marvel storylines "Avengers Disassembled" (2004–2005), "Secret War" (2004–2005), "House of M" (2005), "Secret Invasion" (2008), "Siege" (2010) and "Age of Ultron" (2013), and co-created the characters Riri Williams, Miles Morales, and Jessica Jones. Bendis has won five Eisner Awards for both his creator-owned work and his work on various Marvel Comics books. Though he has cited comic book writers such as Frank Miller and Alan Moore, Bendis' writing influences are less rooted in comics; drawing on the work of David Mamet, Richard Price, and Aaron Sorkin, whose dialogue, Bendis said, was "the best in any medium." In addition to writing comics, Bendis has worked in television, video games and film. He has also taught courses on graphic novels at the University of Oregon and Portland State University. In 2014, Bendis wrote Words for Pictures: The Art and Business of Writing Comics and Graphic Novels, a book about comics published by Random House.

# Avengers: Doomsday The world faces its darkest hour as an unstoppable cosmic threat emerges, forcing Earth's mightiest heroes to reunite one final time. Fractured by past conflicts and personal demons, the Avengers must overcome their differences to confront an enemy that threatens to annihilate all existence. As the team assembles, they discover a shocking truth: one of their own may be the key to either salvation or destruction. With time running out and casualties mounting, each hero must make impossible sacrifices. Relationships are tested, powers are pushed beyond limits, and the line between victory and extinction blurs. In a desperate race against doomsday itself, the Avengers learn that true strength comes not from individual power, but from standing together—even when the cost might be everything.
