Bendis is an extremely prolific writer, often simultaneously writing five or more titles a month. His dialogue, which is known for his characteristic rapid back-and-forth banter between characters, is particuarly recognisable as a "Bendisism". He has been criticized for plotting slow-moving story arcs and writing issues which mostly contain conversation, with little action or plot development.
