Making the team into a JLA-like equivalent could be kind of interesting, no matter how I'm sorely attached to the original idea of the Avengers. But, and he admitted it from the start, Bendis cannot write team books. He has no pacing for a bunch of characters at once. And look at their track record, the New Avengers barely did anything your local Marvel Knight character couldn't handle. Feh. And.... I might not have read enough Authority to find the arc with the gratuitous splash pages and the return of a Grant Morrison character that was pretty much dead twice over. Time to hit the back issues... (man, I sound bitter...) You know, I’d have to agree with you there.

SO MUCH PONTENTIAL. Its all good stuff handled very, very poorly. And I still maintain my opinion that the collective arc was Bendis trying to do Warren Ellis's Authority.
