I was initially going to quote the Bleeding Cool article on this instead, but they decided to editorialize about the comics industry being 'a better place' with Bendis in it.Brian Michael Bendis Reveals Recent Hospital Stay, Thanks Fans For Support
"So, 1 week ago I woke up in intensive care because of a surprise MRSA infection that grabbed & blinded me for 4 days. this was the worst week of my life," Bendis said. "I almost died on Monday. it'll take months to recover. i wasn't even going to share it was so bad.. my wife literally saved my life. my friends surrounded me in a wall of love. fraction didn't leave my bedside for two days. my face had swelled shut. @davidwalker1201 @oeming @takisoma (& many non comics pals) just descended on my family & kept my kids safe...."
The good news is that Bendis is now home, and friends, family, and coworkers have made things much easier for him.
"I'm home. miraculously," Bendis said. "My recent healthy eating & weight loss helped me bounce out of the hospital and I'm recovering here at home. I look like actual s*** but I feel alive. @joequesada has\d my back. marvel & DC both agreed to let me do my work when I can. I can and need to...but today, waking up to your reactions to Jessica & miles, (both coming out on the same day) was such a reversal of fortune to where I was last week that I could not even process it. thank you for being you. I'm on the mend. I'm here and I get better every day."

While I am not one of those fans that wants to see Bendis come to physical harm(and many are glorying in the revelation of his recent health issues, with some even expressing regret he didn't actually die), but at the same time I NEVER want to see Bendis creatively touch anything I care about as a fan ever again. And a say that as a former fan of his.
The comics industry is a worse place with Bendis and his emulators in it, and will not really improve until they are effectively run out of it.
Please get better Brian, and then please please please...find a new line of work.
