    Looks like the X-Line needs more Batman.

    Poor Exiles, no wonder it's been cancelled. But it was controversial from the start due to the cosmetic changes to Blink, addition of Wolvie, and use of MCU Valkyrie.

    Weapon X deserves to be lower as horrible as that finale was, which completed the destruction of Sabretooth.

    Mr. & Mrs. X doesn't seem to be taking off. I guess many weren't interested in seeing Rogue x Gambit again. So I can see it being a maxi series and running about as long as GenX did. But I don't think it's gonna last as long as the ResurrXion titles did with 20+ chapters.

    I think Inceman is only a mini anyhow, so the super low sales are no biggie. I hope this shows they didn't need to revive that series anyone when series with MUCH better numbers didn't get the same.

    It's DP, and SM is no slouch in popularity either. So it'll probably be running for a good few years.

    It needs marketing. To pharphase big bang comics, we have zero preorders for age of x because one article on newsarma dosent do crap for getting the word out and building interest. Unless you were a fan from issue 1 I doubt half the people knew if the book came or what's going on. If marvel market there books insted of just going hear's when it comes they'd sell more.

    I feel like there have been less interviews for different series than there used to be.

    And frankly, I feel like those weekly issues for Uncanny did more harm than good. Biweekly would have allowed a better flow.

    -Wow, Batman is a monster. How does one character sell so much?
    -I expected X-force to be higher
    -Uncanny had relatively good sales, considering how bad it was
    -At least X-men the exterminated and Extermination weren't flops. I liked them

    The problem is not RoguexGambit. They are probably the most popular and greatest X-couple at the moment but i don't think many people are interested in a book only for a couple, no matter what couple. I doubt any other x-couple could have done any better

    Batman is the ultimate power fantasy: rich white man who is super-smart and can beat anyone up, even Superman!

    As for the second part: Wolverine and Storm could have. But I do agree, most X-Couples can't really hold a title by themselves, they need to exist in a larger pool of characters. Though, I think Rogue and Gambit could have done better with something a bit more grounded than Shi'Ar space and Mojoworld. Those were both so random.
    Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!

    Less ? Compared to legacy and ANW there are no interviews, no articles, and no support outside of the first issue. It's a disgrace outside of hard core fans no one knows when issues come out. If you can make video teasers for events, you can record a writer or artist talking for 2 minutes to hype up there book. Why dont they want to market there own books ?

    That's a good question. Sometimes I think they just don't realize that we fans aren't enough, especially for X-Men right now. They need to market the younger characters like what we see with Miles Morales, Ms. Marvel, and Moon Girl.

    Add Black Widow. The Soska sisters talked about that series on Women of Marvel for a couple of min.

    Nice, add in digital and I think it's safe to say just the weekly Uncanny books & X-Force alone, moved over 300,000 units. Throw in the rest and you can probably double that plus. Batman might be able to claim the same or better, but what other Marvel franchise can? Spidey? If so, neither he or the Bat should be all that surprising. Believe both are the most marketed/popular/profitable characters of their kind, worldwide.

    Or creators that bring in audiences. Seems as though top dogs like King and Snyder won’t touch the franchise with a ten foot pole post-Bendis.
