Having broken many of Marvel's toys after years of playing in their sandbox, Bendis tries to put a few back together with duct tape before heading over to DC to play with their toys. This is one of those tag-team efforts that seems less like writing toward a story's conclusion than writing toward an agreed-upon status quo for the next writer standing outside the ropes of the ring. An inevitable resurrection and a silly, unwanted appearance of a previously unknown relative make for more whimper than bang in Bendis' Marvel swan song. ( )
