It's that time of the month again i guess.

[Galerion]

Huh? The answer to failed Cosmic is to bring back failed Rider? That is kinda baffling.

Even the guardian solos are failing.

I think space stuff is just hard.

Maybe it would help to put someone else than Bendis on Guardians?

His book is the only one that's selling.

[Ceebiro]

I do wonder if the book would sell as well with equivalent artistic talent but a smaller name writer. That's one thing Bendis consistently gets - top of the line artists.

The cosmic titles could use a shot in the arm and Rider's revival is the only thing I can see being a noteworthy mini-event in the future.

Indeed. But it's also the main Guardians book. Shouldn't be surprising it is outselling lesser cosmic titles.
How high would be sales if a writer would take it to the next level and put his heart into the book though? We don't know.
From what I have gathered so far Guardians looks like an afterthought to Bendis compared to Iron Man, Miles or Civil War.

[Rumble]

Glad that Miles didn't make a big drop. 99k to 60k isn't bad. He might be able to settle into that 45k range, the dardevil/wolverine territory, which would be pretty good.

It's the only Guardians book that's ever sold well, if I'm not mistaken. And it had good numbers BEFORE the movie came out.

Look where All-New X-Men is now, compared to when Bendis was writing it. Do you think Hopeless isn't putting his heart into that?

As some who has read it no I think not. Spider-Woman is far better written than ANXM. In all his interviews he doesn't even come off as enthusiastic. Barely answering questions, giving information or hyping readers. You can look at all his X-positions yourself.

Seeing the batman and superman 50's reminded me. when was the last time a marvel book got to issue #50?

These titles should be cancelled immediately.

Some of them are. Black Knight was first to go. It deserved better, and I hope the trade paperback sells. Howling Commandos and Angela are also gone. Starbrand, Weirdworld, and Hercules are probably going, too.

Redwolf is done, #5 was the last
I thought I heard that Moon Girl was also cancelled already.

Hickman's Avengers run went up to 44. It's just not a business model they are doing anymore. They are taking more of a season approach and relaunching books whenever a writer finishes the story they want to tell. Whether that story be 15 issues or 44.

DC is about to do the exact same thing with renumbering everything back to issue 1 with rebirth. They are doing so because it has proven to be a successful business decision.

I heard Moon Girl was going to but they've received a ton of mail for it. Also, I think Moon Girl is gonna be HUGE in trade. School libraries better be ready.
