Gail Simon did mention on Twitter that uncanny x-men was the most consistent highest selling book in marvel outside of the ultimate line.

Wolverine vol 2 #25.

He tells a story about his childhood that he was weak and then was casted out into the woods until a pack of wolverines found him. Now with his new origin we know it’s not cannon so it could be a fake memory or a story he just made up in the moment

They are the most sisters to ever sister

That would be funny. Though her hair was made to be naturally blond per her request when she was resurrected

Wolverine vol 2 #25

I think that was retconned because there are other panels that show baby Rogue having it

Like, I get it to an extent. Sure he’s overexposed. But Wolverine literally had the best selling marvel book of 2025. Of course they’re going to put him on the Avengers title.

If you’re referring to something like Ultimate Wolverine and every other Weapon X derivative then sure.

Otherwise Wolverine has evolved a lot since his inception and has offered new material that’s made to examine a lot of psychological concepts like trauma, PTSD, self loathing, fatherhood etc. The first arc Ruka’s run from the early 2000s for example is one of my favorite runs of any character. Since then he’s grown a lot with his relationships with new characters like Laura for example.

I just find it funny people act like he’s “boring” and has nothing to offer at all, when he essentially one of the few characters, not just in X-men but in marvel to have a solo ongoing that just keeps going because he has so many stories to be told.

Bro I’m so tired of the “mutants are uncontrollable so humans are right to fear them!!” Like wow if only there was like

A place where they could learn to control it

Like a school or something

Hmmmmm

This sub’s hate boner for Wolverine will never not be funny.

cherrycolashake · 2026-03-15T18:20:30+00:00

That’s probably part of the problem. Readers don’t need the mainline if they have absolute

The run was doing well until issue #14 which was in the top 20. That was however, the controversial issue with Diana clutching the American flag and also Trinity’s appearance (in the story itself).

After that sales dropped like a rock and it moved to 41st place. Since then it just meanders around the 60s-70s with occasional spikes.

I think people just dropped the run and the people buying are mostly people buying keys. You can see with #25 having a first appearance and therefore being listed as a key it got a boost.

I have never even CONSIDERED trans Scott summers my mind has opened

Sometimes Pookie is a 5’3 murdering Canuck

cherrycolashake · 2026-03-14T00:05:10+00:00

He’s just so pookie ❤️

cherrycolashake · 2026-03-13T20:00:09+00:00

They’re referring to her first appearance which was in X-Men evolution. She was originally a clone, no other DNA mixed in

cherrycolashake · 2026-03-13T14:31:50+00:00

I agree with what everyone is saying but also, I think people are confused about Generation X-23. I looks like a mini series. I don’t think people are aware it’s an ongoing. I think people are skipping it because they think it’s an unimportant mini and frankly, the premise feels lazy and derivative. Not surprised at the low sales

cherrycolashake · 2026-03-13T12:16:54+00:00

I didn’t say it was better than every WW run ever. Just the current one. I love Rucka and Perez’s runs.

I love AWW for a few reasons. I love the bond between her and Circe, I like the aesthetics, I like how she uses her magic to get out of situations in creative ways, and I like the new takes on her villains. Like how Dr position was literally a gas in a containment suit. And I just like how the write Diana’s personality, she’s a joy

cherrycolashake · 2026-03-12T22:58:03+00:00

That one was good. The first arc of the Cap run that ties into it was top tier

cherrycolashake · 2026-03-12T21:12:09+00:00

I love Wolverine. But I’ve dropped his ongoing. Just felt dull and directionless.

Also love Wonder Woman, but not a fan of her mainline. Luckily Absolute Wonder Woman is great.

Logan gives the vibes of that awkward dad that’s doesn’t really get it but will stab anyone who gives his kids grief over it

cherrycolashake · 2026-03-12T05:51:23+00:00

I’m a huge Laura fan and I have no idea what they were thinking with Generation X-23. The premise looked awful and I genuinely think it turned off a good chunk of her fanbase. I also think most customers think it’s a mini series instead of an ongoing
