None of the AoXM books got to even the top 100, apparently, so let's hope this is a lesson for those who came up with its ridiculous format.
-
Seems that the way Disassembled ended was a mistake then. They'd have probably been better off giving X-Men Red another year and launching an adjectiveless book to replace Gold.

UXM seems to be doing fine, the problem was the format of the event and it's pointlessness.

You reap what you sow.
In this case basing an event on:
1. Nate Grey
2. Another alternate reality
3. Amnesiac main characters
BAM! Three strikes and you're out.

Getting invested on an AU with a set expiration date is kind of hard. Also, comic book fans in general are quite jaded, at least the folks who still buy floppies. I'm sure most people expect the developments from this event to be either ignored or just a jumping point into other stuff. This month was boring for all the AoXM books, save for Prisoner X, so it really isn't a surprise.

I have no intention of buying any of these x men books because it is obvious that they are nothing but filler until Hickman relaunches the x men franchise and hopefully whatever he does sets the franchise back on course. Personally I think he was supposed to start after gold blue and red ended but plans got delayed so now we have age of x man and whatever nonsense is happening in uncanny x-men just filling time.
The x men franchise is in total disarray and it shows.

Also, Prisoner X, which is the most acclaimed of it, could easily have been set in the 616, just removing the sex stuff.

Prisoner X is the sex-free one.

Imagine messing up an event with X-Man vs. Legion. gg X-Office.

Well this is a big laugh. All of AOXM stories are just old told ones from the x men, even prisoner x, Cyclops got lock up and needed to scape and was attack in prison for being a mutant. Sure they change a few things... And added the sex part but other then that boring AOXM. Uxm is sinking ship also.
-
I would have expected War Of Realms Uncanny X-Men #1 to sell better than Major X #1.
That issue was quite good, can't wait for WoR UXM #2.
