Hulk in Top 10. Ewing the Gawd.
It's awesome to see Hulk doing so well.
It’s what he deserves.
When was the last time a book doubled its orders in mere months through sheer word of mouth without being an anniversary or event?
Sorry for the off-topicness (it’s already sort of being discussed), but maybe the chance of finding the “target” of my question is higher here anyway...but am I missing something with this newest Hulk series? I’m generally not a fan of the Hulk (so much so that I usually actively avoid the character, instead of just ignoring)...any other non-fans tried out the book and enjoyed it?
I usually do enjoy Ewing’s writing.

it's a classic in the making, it's great
Inmortal Hulk is that good.

It's consistently good and uses a bunch of concepts from the past of the character, but in a way that this could be your jumping point to Hulk stories and you can read understand it all fine.
Give Ewing a xmen book.

x-factor, please.

Basically, Hulk runs are generally exceptional in a vaccuum, but the franchise has no consistency with its genre, tone, or even main character as a whole. So by doing another exceptional Hulk run on top of reimagining all Hulk history as an actual cohesive and all-new thing with a unique horror bend, Ewing and Bennet have brought the series to a creative peak where the book is very good on top of literally being the new hot shit.
As for sales, I dunno, maybe speculators are just on top of it trying to catch the first appearance of whatever unholy hell demon Ross will become.
So hey! How about that X-Men?!
I'm not really into Hulk but it is nice to see it doing so great.
I sadly expect very bad sales for the X-books.
Marvel has 118 book vs DC's 60.And wolverine isn't really back yet.The hightes being 126 done by marvel in 1993.

Poor X Men
Erwing was a wronged guy.
Always writing good stories, but all he's titles used to get cancelled too soon.
I'm glad Marvel didn't give up on him and he has a sales success now.

I would say that the only comic that I did not enjoy was his Mighty Avengers, after that everything seemed good to excellent.
Even in Royals he got me to like the Inhumans. His problem is that he has always liked the less commercial characters so it was difficult for him to sell. In other words, USAvengers Sunspot and Squirrel Girl were probably the most famous of all. In New Avengers the most commercial was Clint Barton, in Ultimates Carol and T'Challa. Hulk has been not only one of his best comics but a character well known to shine.

When Hickman comes aboard, expect lots and lots of top 5 books during the first 3-4 meeting months.
Top 100 rankings are out. Estimates tomorrow.

Everytime I see Ewing, former Mr. "My book was cancelled early due to sales", outselling both Tom King and Jason, I can't help but smile.
Marvel sacrificed that sweet, thicc top 10 event placement for the extra $1 on 20 page issues, and the Hickman crops doing the same thing are gonna get their balls bitten too. I beg of you, Marble, stop. Loyal fans like me need these high ranks to stroke our egos. Turn away from the almighty dollar.
oh yeah x-books gettin washed up out here in may jajaja
Justice League, Fantastic Four, Avengers, and the Guardians all beat Uncanny X-Men. Dark Phoenix bombed at the box office too.
Lol, I remember how certain people were praising Age of X-man as the pinnacle of good writing and innovation. How it was going to send to X-men to new heights, how deep and complex it was.
The truth is that very few people cares about this snoozefest. It was so boring and deep in it's own ass that it forgot to be funny. Hopeful it doesn't have lasting damage on the franchice.
Marvel deserves those sales for allowing something as ridiculous as this to be publicated.

I like seeing uncanny on top, i mean it is not selling supergood but it is something.
Cyclops and Wolverine get so much hate that i like them when they succeed or at least i like that they aren't failing.

[QUOTE=Omega Alpha;4399260]Hence Hickman coming and the X-men going to the MCU. The good times are coming, my friend.[/QUOTE]Dark Phoenix bombing was CAUSED by Disney buying Fox. Since people know the franchise is dead, they're not interested. New Mutants might as well be direct to streaming/DVD.

Pffft! How the fuck is Disney responsible for Fox's movie?

Disney did a better job marketing it than Fox. And the general audience has no idea about the Fox/Disney stuff.
Wow the Hickman news really did sink Uncanny sales.
[QUOTE=Maestro 216;4399412]Pffft! How the fuck is Disney responsible for Fox's movie?[/QUOTE]They're not. But by buying Fox, they killed the franchise, as the characters will be rebooted into the MCU. Makes the movie pointless (even more than it already was - it's basically a remake of X-Men 3: The Last Stand)... and New Mutants is itself a stillborn franchise.

Rosenberg is doing that on his own with the pointless gimmick, lame deaths every issue & a supposed plot that's all over the place. Lol
[QUOTE=Silver Fang;4399703]Rosenberg is doing that on his own with the pointless gimmick, lame deaths every issue & a supposed plot that's all over the place. Lol[/QUOTE]
Seriously this. People turned away from Uncanny fairly early. Pointless killing (with Blindfold, Chamber, and Wolfsbane getting the special mention for pointlessly stupid kills), and the lead characters acting like bad caricatures of themselves.

13,14,15,16 sales were flat, just below 50K. If we are looking at a 10K drop, that is not because people just finally all at the same time realized they didn't like issue 11. I am not talking about where issue 11 started, or where it has been at the last 2 months though, I am talking specifically about the effect that Hickman was taking over, everything was getting canceled, it looks like a reboot, and everything has been thrown under the bus and made to look like filler. No large group of people are dropping it because some d-list characters got killed.

Or maybe they hoped this would lead somewhere, and when it became clear that wasn't going to be the case (16), they stopped buying. Rosenberg was given the benefit of the doubt for a long time, for some reason.

Thankfully I knew not to expect much after Phoenix Resurrection. lol Again, all Rosenberg's run did was constantly make me miss Bunn's Uncanny. Then again, I miss that anyhow. For me, it was the best team book where TWO of my favorites were there & getting good treatment.
But I agree. Many probably thought this was be big given the return of the title finally, but like AoX, it's being written like something just to pass time. And when it's not coming off like filler, it's infuriating with the useless character deaths and nobody but Magik & Logan being written decently. Emma is controversial. I have seen good praise for her, but just as much disappointment.

I thought Resurrection was okay. Probably could have been wrapped up faster, but it did it's job without a lot of controversy.
The Emma controversy boils down to five camps:
A) The Emma fans that liked it due to her still fighting the good fight despite the horrors inflicted on her
B) The Emma fans that dislike it because her decisions made her look cowardly and desperate (Me)
C) The neutral camp
D) The Emma haters that liked it for hurting Emma
E) The Emma haters that dislike it for focusing on Emma, or calling out people for apologizing for Emma's actions.
