Brian Michael Bendis has done more for Marvel Comics than arguably any other comics writer in the past 25 years. And now, after 8 years away, he's back. But the projects that brought him back to Marvel haven't even been announced yet. While Bendis isn't ready to announce them yet, he does say they will be "special projects," and none will be ongoing series.

"... at the moment, I am specifically doing special projects. No ongoing series. but a few projects to be sure," Bendis says in response to a fan question during a recent League of Comic Geeks AMA. "I have certainly done enough ongoing long series of Marvel. Whatever itch I was trying to scratch I do believe I scratched it. But I do love writing these characters and I do love the momentum of the medium and I am very excited to be working on the projects I'm working on."

Bendis' return at Marvel Comics began with a story in the Avengers #34 anthology (with Ultimate Spider-Man co-creator Mark Bagley) earlier this year, and a story in the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man #1000 anthology (with Bendis' frequent artist partner, Stuart Immonen). Bendis says that despite these coming first, these aren't the projects that led him to return after an eight-year break.
