Every other female-only superhero book sells like shit, except the one called 'X-Men', hmmm, I wonder why that could be?

Twig (#1 Jubilee fan) bought 500,000 copies.

Now, imagine the title rules the top sales for the year.

It looks to be a good book with a solid creative team and popular characters plus an X-Book, multiplied by it being a #1 means strong first issue sales. Wait six months to see where it ranks to show it is still a success.

For comparisons sake:

All-New X-Men #1 debuted at #1 with 181,693 in sales.
Uncanny X-Men #1 debuted at #2 with 177,463 in sales.
X-Men #1 debuted at #1 with 177,633 in sales.

Anyone remembered that cancelled game from the 90's by hand?

I'm just saying, any X-Book #1 will get to the top (or thereabouts) of the sales charts, whereas other all-female titles actually struggle in sales terms.

Not saying it should be that way, but it is.

Any excuse to make sure strong female characters don't get the credit for it, am I right?

Have any feminist bloggers complained that a female writer isn't writing an all-female starring book yet?

Probably. Feminist bloggers will complain about the sun coming up.

A giant ball, floating over your head, dictating how much clothes you wear and when you go to bed, waiting to pour its hotness all over you? Damn right its sexist.
