It might not be the triumphant return to the comic convention circuit that comic fans were hoping for, but it is an exception to his retirement nonetheless. No, he probably will not be signing comics or taking the time out to hear hours of fans’ praise and complaints, but if you are lucky enough to attend PAX Prime you can hear Brian Michael Bendis speak about Marvel video games (and maybe even ask a related question during the audience Q & A).  Hey, we’ll take what we can get. I hope to see you at PAX Prime next week!
