With Brian Michael Bendis leaving Marvel for DC Comics, Dan Slott becomes Marvel Comics’ most tenured writer.
Slott had this to say on Bendis departure.
.@BRIANMBENDIS, I will always read EVERYTHING you write no matter where, because you're one of the best ever.

Slott also had a humorous theory about Bendis’ DC as well.
Theory:
That weight @BRIANMBENDIS has been losing?
He's been shipping himself to DC in installments.
