C2E2: Bendis and Bagley Get 'Brilliant'



Brian Michael Bendis has another creator owned title to add to one seriously long resume: Brilliant. The announcement was made at today’s Cup ‘o Joe panel at C2E2. Joining the writer to pencil the series is longtime Ultimate Spider-Man collaborator Mark Bagley. The two spent eight years together on 111 straight issues of the prolific reimagining and cornerstone series of the Ultimate universe.

Brilliant is based in the real world where a group of geniuses on a college campus are working on a way to create super powers. Something tells me that they’ll succeed. The book will reside under Marvel’s Icon imprint, alongside Powers, Scarlett and Takio.

Leave it to Bendis to come up with another cool, high concept series that plays off of superhero conventions. As long as the writer can churn out the scripts this book will always come out on time—I cannot think of another artist who is able to turns in pages faster than Bagley.
