The documentary approach only lasted during the FI tie-ins which I am pretty sure was not a full 6 issues.
I also did not hear anyone complaining about it during the first arc of Guardians of the Galaxy which did the same thing or during the entire 10 issue run of the Order (the latter possibly because only Sars and I read The Order)
and while I love Bendis, claiming that he doesn't give an disproportionate amount of attention to some of his favorites is kind of silly. There is a difference between a spotlight issue and what he does.
Spider-Woman does practically nothing for the entire first 2 arcs of Avengers.
I realize it's cool to hate on Spider-Woman but having one issue out of 17 focus on her is not exactly what I call overkill.

They were done well?
Guardians didn't have entire pages of nothing but talking heads except maybe like two pages in the initial 6 issue arc
they had small panels during the action, adding commentary
The FI issues have had pages of nothing but Avengers talking about other Avengers to a camera
and I checked and it is not 6 issues, but 5. Still way too many for the storytelling device.

I'm not meaning just Spider-Woman, although I do not really like her, characters like Luke Cage and Jessica Jones get a ton of spotlight, disproportionate to the rest of the team.
This goes for all of his Avengers, not just the Heroic Age era.
It's not limited to Bendis, it has begun to spread, half the latest Wolverine issue was talking heads ><
But that issue was excellent and the talking heads really fit the story Aaron was trying to tell.
That's the problem I had with it mostly, it was a good story, but thanks to the talking heads being everywhere, no matter how well he did them, it kept taking me out of the story.
Two pages into his "X-Sanction" event and he already has my nerd rage boiling. Since when is Radioactive Man a villain again? And part of the Lethal Legion?
I really liked how Radioactive Man was portrayed in Thunderbolts, and that seemed to be carrying over as he was now a member of China's super-hero squad. Since when did he become a common villain again?!?
I'm starting to think letting Loeb wreck stuff is just an inter-office bet on if he can screw something up so bad even Parker and Pak can't fix it, ( altho thankfully so far Parker and Pak keep winning that bet)
Yes let's judge that this will be a complete wreck from a tiny ass preview that has little relevance to the actual plot. (not saying it won't be bad, but silly to be hatin on dat preview)
The only reason anyone remembers Fallen Son is because Loeb wrote it. Without his name, it'd have just been another competent, but forgettable tie-in to an event.
Ultimate X was ruined by delays but is, by itself, pretty good.
I find that Jeph Loeb is like JT Krul but with a lower hit ratio. JT Krul has written some truly bad stuff but also some perfectly acceptable and even rather enjoyable stuff. Jeph Loeb has written mostly truly bad stuff but also some perfectly acceptable and even rather enjoyable stuff.
I mean, I'm hardly a Loeb fan, but Challengers of the Unknown, The Long Halloween, the Marvel color books, and Superman For All Seasons alone put him heads-and-shoulders above JT Krul. I mean, I can't think of a thing JT Krul's written, that wasn't at best, bog-standard shit.
Granted, Loeb owes much of his success to Tim Sale's art, and a lot of his best work is derivative and formulaic. But, the guy has a library of work that was pretty respected at one time, even if most of what he's done lately is terrible.
Goddamnit, Diamond. My order is due next Tuesday, and I have no need to go to the store anytime this week. This week is also the one when I'm not going to be in the neighborhood of my store (which is why it's my store). Why is your stupid form due on a Tuesday?

And his recent Captain Atom was perfectly good
I think when it comes down to it JT Krul has not written shit as high profile as Jeph Loeb's shit
Jeph Loeb wrote Ultimatum. He fucked up an entire line.
He loses.
It's a wash!
That's it
To the dueling circle
the head of design for Magic: the Gathering used to write for Roseanne
now, he's better than JT Krul but I'm still torn between them
And he mentioned it constantly.
that would be why I know it!
was gonna make this post but you beat me to it
you forgot, however, to mention teen wolf
But Roseanne was a pretty good show for quite a while.
I was waiting for someone to come along and diss it.
Now you've ruined my carefully laid plans.
