>>115553106Bendis can't go to Image because McFarlane hates him (he left Image in the late 90s because McFarlane wanted to force Bendis into his feud with Gaiman over Miracleman/Angela by way of forcing Bendis to be the one who brings back Miracleman to comics in Hellspawn; Bendis quit Hellspawn rather than do that and was fired from Sam and Twitch in retaliation).
Also, IDW has license issues which Bendis would never agree to, due to Bendis saying he refuses assignments where he can be told "no" and vetoed.
Sega would never let Bendis on the book because after the last couple of years at Archie, they are now super hands on and the last thing they would want is another Penders hijacking the Sonic franchise to get his unpublished novels made. Not to mention Bendis being the type who would actively shit on the furry community just because he can/think he can ignore them/replace them with his sycophant readership.
GI Joe would be a no-go because Bendis would antagonize the readership PLUS do what Sitterson and Ryall couldn't do and get Hama kicked from the license since no fucking way, would Bendis allow Hama to produce a rival GI Joe book that would upstage him
Transformers is now under the Alignment mandate, meaning that everything is now in perfect corporate synergy mode and we know Bendis is a fuck up who would wreck that. Plus he'd be stupid enough to pull a Wendig and say anyone who likes the Decepticons are Nazis and should die in a fire
And Turtles would suffer from the same problem that the 00s cartoon did in that Bendis would shill hard to whatever part of the fandom that gives him the most unconditional love and shit on the rest of the fandom mercilessly as a result, causing a huge chunk of the fans to shun his run and then some.
