I'm not in America: is "X-Men" still a bestselling title? How many copies?

[Mutant 77]

I'm not located in America so I don't know.

1- Were the X-Men successful in the Nineties and 2000s? And now, in the 2010s?

2- How many copies? Are the X-titles bestsellers among the Marvel publications?

3- Which single X-title is more successful anyway?

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

Those only represent wholesale sales to comic shops, are not representative of end sales; a changing market has many people picking up trades from books stores and digitally, which are in no way represented in that data.

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that in 2000-2018 X-Men did fairly well in terms of sales, despite Marvel's internal boycott (because their "dispute" over movie rights). Especially in 2000-2010, I think that the X-Men titles were still great sellers, and it seems to me astonishing, because they were fighting against the hidden ban and conspiracy. Am I right?

Overall the X-Men still do okay, but they are a shadow of their former glory. In the old days Uncanny sold multiple hundreds of thousands of issues every month. X-Men #1 (1991) still holds the record for most issues sold after all these years(somewhere between 6-8 million copies). Almost anything with an "X" on the cover sold over 100k, supporting a whole line of at least 5 team books.

In the modern era sales of 20-30k are more usual, and titles are relaunched every year or so for artificial #1 boosts. Compared to something like Batman, X-Men has certainly lost market share over the years, and is at it's lowest relative position since the 60's lackluster original run.

You're not. Any notion of the X-Men being downplayed in favour of other properties (Avengers and Inhumans) only applies from 2012 onwards. In short, after Disney bought Marvel.
