    I feel like in terms of sales a lot of female characters tend to be in the 20-30k range when stable. Ms. marvel by Reed was stable at about 25k, backed up by that video minus any tie ins. Like wonder woman probably gets to similar sale levels around that time.

    For example for gail simone's ww run, around 35 to 40:

    74 82 Wonder Woman 35 $2.99 DC 29,626
    87 101 Wonder Woman 36 $2.99 DC 28,782
    77 87 Wonder Woman 37 $2.99 DC 26,956
    74 91 Wonder Woman 38 $2.99 DC 26,253
    80 97 Wonder Woman 39 $2.99 DC 26,152
    78 87 Wonder Woman 40 $2.99 DC 25,156

    there's also the spider-girl run from marvel (longest running female solo) which was at 25ish k for a lot of it.


    With the Deconnick runs you also have to consider the growing online sales and trades market it had, though its hard to factor in, I'd assume the overall sales were similar to the reed run as well if you factor in the losses.
    Stohl run was just given a terrible hand having to deal with CWII's aftermath, but it seems sales wise the movie anticipation and release helped CM more so than other characters.

    So you see the Thompson run doing pretty well compared to any of her past runs so far i'd say.

    I think following up CWII and being yet another relaunch after a brief relaunch didn't help Stohl's run...and people just weren't that excited about Stohl's stories.

    Thompson's books have generally never been high sellers, moreso critical darlings, but I think movie hype and being an established comic writer ended up netting her most successful Superhero book and probably Carol's most successful run in a while.

    how many TPBs of the Ms. Marvel era are available, especially the 70s and 80s before Binary?

    ... Are the Binary appearances worth collecting into a TPB? It seems odd to contextualize as well, explaining what her status quo was back then.

    I never felt like I saw enough adventures with Carol as Binary. Are there many?

    As Binary, Carol was mostly part of ensemble stories. Check out the Chronology Project for a references to all of her issues.
    https://www.chronologyproject.com/b.php#BINARY

    For my money, the quintessentially CAROL aspects of the Binary era were the elements of her personality memory ghost that showed up with Rogue in Claremont's X-MEN was the best. Those moments when Rogue's eyes would shift from green to blue to signal that Carol was in charge were sparkleMAGIC.

    Anyway, the current run is selling better than Reed's run so she keeps repeaking.
    The video contextualises it within the markets of its day

    It's a perfectly reasoned comparison

    Nothing wrong with it

    Cw2 was just horrible, across marvels books that linked it there was around an average drop of about 40 percent

    Which was somewhat true of the market generally

    But really it did carol no favours, not Tony for that matter

    She's better off now

    Speaking of crossovers, how was SECRET WARS? For Carol and in general?

    It's not when nowadays people don't tend to buy comics anymore compared to 20 years ago, especially considering that today there's internet and digital sales.

    I enjoyed the Carol Corps and A-Force was cute.
