He said he is sticking to creator owned work. Unless Marvel gives him the entire X-Men franchise I am afraid that does not count.

Actually could see Aaron come back and see Ewing/Spencer/Remender writing Avengers in the future
Come on Bendis, leave GotG too please. It would be great if Dan Abnett took over the main book (no Lanning anymore, but that is ok).
He should write a Luke Cage solo.

Sorry ComicGAF, but I'm genuinely saddened by this
I've really enjoyed All New X-Men. A bit saddened as well. All New X-Men was entertaining and was one of the best looking books on the stand.
Eh would rather he leave guardians though.
Yeah, that would be really cool actually. I would think they would have two different writers for those books.

It can go!
I know, he'd probably never work at Marvel again anyway, but it's nice to dream.

Im not sure thats right. Marvel recently had to ask him permission to publish his Miracleman work which he agreed to as long as Quesada drew it himself.

Guys...what if the reason Bendis is done with X-Men is because there won't BE any X-Men books after Secret Wars?!?

There any DC writers right now that Marvel may try to scoop up for this? None are really coming to mind. Gail Simone's exclusive right?
Not for awhile, she contributed to at least one issue of Deadpool last year.
I gave up on everything X-Men after Aaron left WatXM and during which ever event came after that. There was some decent stuff in there. I'm surprised he's leaving it completely though.
ha. I might have to check this out.
This arc on Swamp Thing is so, so good. A new kingdom on the machines, called the Rithm is trying to establish an efficient role in managing the kingdoms, but they're led by a pretty violent avatar.
Plus, one of the machines, A.I B, is hilarious.
ha. I might have to check this out.

Eh, I don't really trust any absolutes that creative types put out. Never say never. If the deal is right and he has an inspired idea then I'm sure he would change his mind.
That being said, I can only see Morrison doing cape work for DC and Marvel if he gets to do it like Whedon on Astonishing: continuity-lite, free from events, no artist fill-ins, and not beholden to a monthly schedule. Which excludes him from writing the lead book in a franchise but doesn't mean that he can't do special event type stuff.

I like how this bullshit has gotten so out of hand that Bendis feels obligated to address it in the interview.

Doesn't really seem like it. Snyder is probably locked down for at least another year. Lemire maybe since he's already doing Marvel work but I don't know if he would be a great fit. Gerry Duggan maybe since he just became Marvel exclusive but he isn't exactly a major name.

Pretty surprised with Bendis leaving X-books, thought for sure he would hold those books for another ten year run.
I wouldn't be surprised if more writers end up saying their finished with a title.

DC and Marvel should just swap writers for a few years.

It's not bullshit when it's real.
5 of the Battleworld locations (6 counting AvX) are X-Men-specific. The mutants aren't going anywhere.
Moz's beef was with Bill Jemas who's been gone for ages at this point.

Depends on if the ending of Spider-Verse can work up enough fanboy tears for Slott to complete his immortality potion.
Doesn't mean any of them have to survive.

I would like to see what Simon Spurrier could do with the x-titles.
But giving the X-Men so much prominence in Secret Wars is counter-productive to your theory. For reference, the Fantastic Four have zero Battleworld locations dedicated to them. The X-Men still have merchandise, albeit not as plentiful. The X-Men still cross over with the Avengers & the Guardians. And most importantly, the X-Men comics still sell. I guarantee you, we will see the X-Men alive & kickin' after Secret Wars.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
My threat from last week worked! Happy days! NO MORE X-BENDIS.
Now just need Slott to fuck oft, and glory be.
Ant-Man feels like the only comic I need from Marvel these days though. Never... never thought I'd hear myself say that. Issue #2 was fucking GOLD, Jerry.

I blend my distaste of Slott with the (fairly rare and unique opinion in these parts) dislike of Allred art also. It is a two for two bleurgh cock-tail.
Once upon a time I also looked forward to Hawkeye, but delays and total loss of pace in the middle killed that el deado, and now thats almost over too.
Perhaps a bright new dawn for X-Men and Avengers post all this... event shit... will up my Marvel book count.

Having caught up the last two days, I 100% agree with this. A delight of a book.
And the current X-Force. I would probably buy a proper X-Men book he wrote, it might be too weird for the main book though.

Like he'd be OK with writing a midcard franchise like X-Men.
Slott is going on to X-Men? Is he going to keep writing Silver Surfer?

I'd rather they cancelled the whole line TBH.
The only worse thing I can think of is bringing back Austen.
It was just a thought.
