Brian Bendis Shuts Down His Long-Running, Popular Message Board Covered here best, I think. I'm catching up with this late on a Friday but that's an interesting move and sort of an historical event in terms of modern comics culture. It's hard for me to think of a creator outside of Mark Millar and Warren Ellis more closely affiliated with a specific old-fashioned message board. I'm sure that it played a role in his rise to prominence writing comics, although how much it's hard to say. I don't envy anyone the task of trying to wrangle a board in this day and age, particularly a writer as busy as Bendis.
