Let's make this birthday one to remember.

58 years old (Born on August 18, 1967)

Happy Birthday, Brian Michael Bendis! May your day be as spectacularly epic and delightfully twisty as the countless universes you've crafted. From launching Ultimate Spider-Man in 2000—giving us a fresh spin on our favorite web-slinger—to earning five Eisner Awards (and four Wizard Awards!), you’ve proven that with great storytelling comes even greater responsibility to entertain.

Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer plot twists than an average issue of Daredevil but just enough excitement to keep things interesting. Thanks for decades of unforgettable characters, gripping narratives, and dialogue sharper than Wolverine's claws. Keep swinging high—you truly are Marvel-ous!
