    Default Good Marvel comics that didn't sell well

    Every month the sales figures are posted here on the forum and there is a debate about whether certain series should be continued even though they are selling poorly, but personally I want good stories, whether they are popular or not.

    One example I've come across lately is Jessica Jones: Blind Spot & Purple Daughter.

    I did not know anything about Jessica Jones but I heard a few people saying these stories were well written, and I can confirm that they really are! I would recommend them to anyone.

    What are some good but unpopular series you guys have come across? I've heard Meet the Skrulls is good, but I think sales were pretty low. I will probably check that out next, but could use more recommendations.

    This. I recently gave it a chance to see Jeremy Whitley's writing style for the upcoming Future Foundation book and I really enjoy it so far.

    I thought Mosaic was really good but it got buried under Inhumans/Anti-Diversity controversy

    Jessica Jones is a weird one because it was not released to the direct market at all, except in TPB format, it was a digital exclusive, so we don't actually know how well it did for certain. but since it was cancelled, yeah i think it's safe to assume it didn't do as well as they were hoping for, which is a shame, cus it was good.

    I second Weirdworld, I loved that book.

    I think this thread will be more fuel to my beliefs that marvel should do more limited series as attempt so try more ongoing series.

    The Ultimates˛.

    Although, I don't know if the book was terminated due to sales solely, or for concomitant factors...like Ewing being pulled onto other titles, or Marvel in general reversing its diversity push.
