Looks like Bendis is going to write a new Defenders title, that will feature DD, starting in June 2017:

Getting it in before Marvel have a load of Defenders collections returned with complaints that they are nothing like the show...

Civil War II's art is beautiful, so David Marquez is fine with me. However, Brian Bendis and Marquez together is triggering PTSD.

Look, Bendis's run is less popular here than other places, but I at least appreciate what he did. On the other hand, it's a rare writer who can come back to a project a decade after he left. Certainly, End of Days gives me no hope whatsoever for this. On the other hand, his Jessica Jones so far seems fine to me. He's always been a Luke Cage fan and his Cage can be fine to a degree. But his indifference to current continuity mixed with the last time he wrote for Daredevil worries the hell out of me as a Daredevil fan.

If Bendis is writing it, I don't think I can read it.

Just please tell me Milla won't appear...

Also, I'm calling it first: best case scenario the first arc and worst case scenario the entire series will "focus" on a "who is the villain?" or "who is the secret ally?" mystery. We shall be reminded of said mystery in no fewer than half of the "cliff hangers" at the ends of the issues. The big reveal will be disappointing.

So Luke will be holier-than-thou, Jessica will be a mess, Matt will be sullen & Danny will have no discernible personality whatsoever... And Bendis will pretend that this is the way they've always been written.

The Hollywoodization of Marvel Comics continues unabated.

Bendis writing DD again? Please, don't waste my time or money.
