Were the first issues of Wonder Woman also released weekly? Cause I think that is what hurt Resurrection most. (They should have made it a Giant Sized Special instead. Then Jean’s resurrection would have been a true success.)
Still, Jean’s return was among the top selling X-books. Not sure we can really ask for more at this stage.
Hopefully Red gets decent legs. Would be lovely to have a truly successful X-Men title.
Well for all that we know the Red, Blue, and Gold teams as they are now and about to be are just killing time so to speak until what many guess is a big crossover or event later on this year and then new rosters and such...
Nice, so adult Jean's return managed to move a grand total of 338,842 comics, in just a matter of a mere 6 weeks. That's an average of 67,768 copies over the actual 5 of release, and even 56,473 still, if you include the 6th when there was not. Again, weeks, not months. Pretty impressive, I'd say.
Other takeaways, her #1 was both the #1 X AND Marvel title, for its month of release. Spidey was the nearest competitor, but a distant 2nd, with what looks to be less than half that.
2-5 combine to around 193,000 for last month, and are bested only in that same respect, by Batman's one-two punch. Again... the Batman, x2.
They were also the 5th, 7th, 8th, & 9th best performing, non Star Wars books for Marvel. 1st, and 3rd-5th, for the X-line. Behind only Avengers #675, Spidey/Venom #1, OM Hawkeye #1, & Spidey #794, w/AstonX sneakin' in there for 6th. They're all monthlies, too, BTW.
And that's in today's more troubled market, which is especially true, where Marvel's concerned. So I'm not too worried 'bout Red, and in fact, think things look & sound rather promising for it.
