And Bendis gets it wrong... again.

Again I go back to Avengers Assembled, where Bendis has STILL not explained why the Hulk talks in the third person (unlike his own book) or how Thanos and Starlord made it out of the Cancerverse where they were trapped at the end of DandA's Thanos Imperative.  Pretty big oops in my opinion.

Now I have a minor quibble with a three page preview from Avengers Assembled #7... mainly that he appears to really not know who is an Elder of the Universe.

Here's the link to the preview in question: 

Here we see Thanos confronting the Champion, the Contemplator, the Collector, the Stranger and the In-Betweener (by the way, I did not make up these names).  And yes, all are cosmic entities and yes SOME are part of the Elders of the Universe...but NOT all.  The In-betweener has worked with the Elders but is not one of them. And the Stranger has as far as I can recall NEVER worked with them.

Oy, this is not brain surgery.  It's simple continuity.  Just know who is part of what group.

Bendis, seriously... read someone else work, know your comics "history" and I will stop calling you a douchebag.

Okay, kniption over... for now.

Update: Bendis DID address the Cancerverse.  No really he did.  The Avengers and the Guardians get attacked by Thanos and shunted into another dimension.  When one the characters asks where they are, Starlord answers "The Cancerverse".  Nothing else.  Just that.

Wow.  Great job there Bendis.  Really dealing with continuity there.  You frickin' douchebag!
