He decided to wrap up his run with a big, over-the-top adventure that is loaded with the kind of hoo-hah fun that you'd expect in a classic Marvel Annual - or the wrap-up to an entertaining event book.
Here the original Avengers team tackles a towering menace in an itty-bitty world, and that means an all-out battle with Captain America, Thor, Iron Man and Giant-Man fighting an army - and having a blast.
Along the way the adventure brings back a much-missed character, revives a much-neglected one, and just packs a lot of fun into an oversized package.
The art is something of a jam session, with some outstanding work by the always-excellent Brandon Peterson, Mike Mayhew, Terry Dodson and Rachel Dodson - not to mention several others who kick in pages for a wild battle royale.
There's no deep plot at work here - just lots of action, some crackling dialogue and a fun story with a great wrap-up to Bendis' long run.
Who could ask for more?
