Surprised at Dark X-Men ranking, but likely just cause X-Men is in the title. Happy for Jean and Iceman, those seem decent for solos no?

I was trying to do too much and not doing any of it as well as I could. But I've had a change of mind... though not everyone shall enjoy it. I will.

You underestimate the power of the Goblin Queen and the Goblin Prince, Your Goblin Majesty Madelyne F'n Pryor, and the mutant known as Havok, Alexander Summers. Hopefully Dark X-Men will be boosted to ongoing status. Also the power of the Maddy Pryor variants, I bought a few myself. Maddy and Alex (plus Warren and Remy) might be the next big thing.
The small sample size, the impact of variants and the motivation for any individual purchase are minor problems with using these numbers for anything even just entertainment. The biggest problem is that not all books come out on the first week of the month so books released on the last week of the month (and to a lesser extent each week after the first) are being reported on for a much shorter period (sometimes less than week). Look at Wolverine #35 making the list even though it released in the last week of July so any sales in July are cut off but obviously it had enough sales the following month to make the list. That is the problem in which these monthly numbers are useless because of.
Well maybe that has more to do with a book featuring Maddy and Alex more than the title Hellions, or Zeb Wells, who I have enjoyed. I only say this because that level magic is being replicated in Dark X-Men which also features Alex and Maddy and also has the benefit of all those Goblin Queen variant covers, many of which I purchased of Hellions and started to on Dark X-Men as well.

A couple of takeaways:
-Number 1's sellllllll
-Jean beat Bobby despite launching late and a buck extra
-Hellfire gala keeps selling big!
-Wolverine's selling fine, per usual
-Dark/Uncanny Avengers have a real shot at being extended/continue in some form! w00t!
-Ms. Marvel likely the hardest hit by launching late; think we'll see #1 in September's solicits
-Rip to the deadpool run; u were a real one
How well do the Marvel Voices series sell?
Also... is Iron Man not a top selling title? CotV sold more. So funny since the general public views him as the big wig of Marvel.

I'm not reading Deadpool, but I am surprised with how low it is.

Im happy Dark X-Men did so well.
I think it was a plus to have Havok, Archangel, Gambit and Pryor on the cover.
ICV2's list includes data from only 4% of comic book stores (If digital sales are taken into account, the share is even smaller.). I don't think it's even as valuable as the Amazon list. Because digital book sales account for at least 10% of total sales. And almost all X-books ranked far higher on Amazon's list than any other books released at the same time.
