This shows that Carol sold best as Ms. Marvel. She was failing as Captain Marvel prior to The Life of Captain Marvel, which turned things around.

Not really? It stabilized a bit, but that's it.
Civil War II was what really damaged her.

Civil War 1 was already crap to Carol, but the second amplified that by 1 million;
keep Bendis away from Carol

Carol Danvers is never on the right side of a Civil War conflict, whether in the comics or animated.

Are you really comparing sales from 00's to now?

Anyway, the current run is selling better than Reed's run so she keeps repeaking.

Great! Brie has greats abs
I feel like in terms of sales a lot of female characters tend to be in the 20-30k range when stable. Ms. marvel by Reed was stable at about 25k, backed up by that video minus any tie ins. Like wonder woman probably gets to similar sale levels around that time.
For example for gail simone's ww run, around 35 to 40:
74 82 Wonder Woman 35 $2.99 DC 29,626
87 101 Wonder Woman 36 $2.99 DC 28,782
77 87 Wonder Woman 37 $2.99 DC 26,956
74 91 Wonder Woman 38 $2.99 DC 26,253
80 97 Wonder Woman 39 $2.99 DC 26,152
78 87 Wonder Woman 40 $2.99 DC 25,156
there's also the spider-girl run from marvel (longest running female solo) which was at 25ish k for a lot of it.
With the Deconnick runs you also have to consider the growing online sales and trades market it had, though its hard to factor in, I'd assume the overall sales were similar to the reed run as well if you factor in the losses.
Stohl run was just given a terrible hand having to deal with CWII's aftermath, but it seems sales wise the movie anticipation and release helped CM more so than other characters.
So you see the Thompson run doing pretty well compared to any of her past runs so far i'd say.

I think following up CWII and being yet another relaunch after a brief relaunch didn't help Stohl's run...and people just weren't that excited about Stohl's stories.
Thompson's books have generally never been high sellers, moreso critical darlings, but I think movie hype and being an established comic writer ended up netting her most successful Superhero book and probably Carol's most successful run in a while.

how many TPBs of the Ms. Marvel era are available, especially the 70s and 80s before Binary?
... Are the Binary appearances worth collecting into a TPB? It seems odd to contextualize as well, explaining what her status quo was back then.

I never felt like I saw enough adventures with Carol as Binary. Are there many?
[QUOTE=Phoenixx9;5322191]I never felt like I saw enough adventures with Carol as Binary. Are there many?[/QUOTE]
As Binary, Carol was mostly part of ensemble stories. Check out the Chronology Project for a references to all of her issues.

For my money, the quintessentially CAROL aspects of the Binary era were the elements of her personality memory ghost that showed up with Rogue in Claremont's X-MEN was the best. Those moments when Rogue's eyes would shift from green to blue to signal that Carol was in charge were sparkleMAGIC.

The video contextualises it within the markets of its day
It's a perfectly reasoned comparison
Nothing wrong with it

Cw2 was just horrible, across marvels books that linked it there was around an average drop of about 40 percent
Which was somewhat true of the market generally
But really it did carol no favours, not Tony for that matter
She's better off now
Speaking of crossovers, how was SECRET WARS? For Carol and in general?

It's not when nowadays people don't tend to buy comics anymore compared to 20 years ago, especially considering that today there's internet and digital sales.

Y'know, this reminds me of that arc where Carol has to protect Rogue from an AU version of herself who murdered her Rogue.

Carol facing off against her "demons" in Rogue and overcoming them.

I don't think I've read that one. I'll have to pick it up. Although I can certainly understand why an AU Carol (or 616 Carol for that matter) would harbor such animosity towards Rogue considering, well, you know.... :eek:
Edit -
In my Marvel/DC blended -universe crossover story "Convergence Point" while Carol has forgiven Rogue, for the most part, (as in canon Marvel) Carol's husband Hal Jordan (hey, they have so much in common I thought "why not pair them?") still hates Rogue who he calls the "leech" and prefers she stay far away from Carol. This animosity will come to a head in a future storyline.

hmm i suppose but its from a different angle
that story was about how that trauma could've completely changed and broken her and turned her into a full villainess
this one was more about her finding closure by being able to survive the shadow king and being empowered instead of a victim

I guess I was just inspired seeing Carol vs Rogue ;).
Apparently non-mutant heroes will be invited to the Hellfire Gala
I wonder if Carol will be there, given her longtime friendship with the X-Men
