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.

WeirdWorld.
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

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.

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.

The problem is a lot of these books get lost in the sauce. Maybe Marvel needs put out less books? We can make an exception for the Star Wars stuff. When it comes to superheroes, twenty-five to thirty comics is all they should be putting out imho.

On the other hand, if they put out less books we may never have got a lot of these clearly appreciated books. And they are still available in the back catalogue instead of being a pipe dream story treatment that never got made. Originally Posted by Anthony W
