All the Transformers movies have made a ton of money, they are still bs.
So sure, Aaron's run is selling well and that's why he's been kept in the book, doesn't mean the book is good nor that the fans are enjoying his book, I mean ffs go look at any forum where fans can express their opinion, the vast majority does not like what's been done to the Thor character, but somehow critics actually love it. And like I have said many times, the answer is very easy, Aaron is indeed telling a good story, just not a good THOR story.
Even then, Aaron's Thor sales are actually exaggerated, they are not even in the Top 30 and sells just about the same as previous runs had been doing, Aaron simply gained more publicity because of the identity swap.
Both Jurgens and JMS sales were better than Aaron's if I'm not mistaken.
