X and Inhuman book sales rankings and figures for October:

18 Death of X 1 75,825

40 Death of X 2 59,427

76 Uncanny X-Men 14 38,685

83 Extraordinary X-Men 15 36,941

97 All New X-Men 14 32,629

114 Uncanny Inhumans 14 24,781

So I don't IvX to tear things up sales wise. Those numbers are awful: to have the regular X books ranking in 70s-90s is extraordinary. The Avengers books aren't doing any better.

Only the Spidey books are really doing well right now (plus Star Wars, because everything Star Wars does well).

Marvel's "let's shake everything up, always" policy seems to be gaining press and losing readers.

These people at Marvel Comics have like a goldmine with the characters being at the zenith of mainstream popularity. And their reaction?... "Let's kill everyone's favorite heroes, and let's tear down the pillars that have held up Marvel for half a century (X-Men, Fantastic Four, Avengers)! Then we work from there".

It's really unbelievable that they would choose the very moment Marvel should be the most popular comic book brand ever to turn it on its head and give the finger to its fans.

I will forever never understand the rationale behind 'all new all different'. Especially when the all-different is in essence cannibalizing your own brand and diluting your most profitable characters.

@theblaquebasterd: Her and her team demonized Scott as some sort of evil Hitler like figure when in the end all he wanted to do was save Mutantkind and Humankind from a poison mist. Storm stood by as people died, then did nothing in the end but stand there as "cyclops" was killed by the true villains in the story Medusa and Black Bolt.

By standing there and not speaking up or standing up to the Inhumans she betrayed everything she should stand for.

Hope they don't change Emma to much. If they make her another Marvel political correctness drone her real character is gone.

Mutants will become Inhumans the same way Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are no longer mutants and MCU gets the movie rights back to those characters.

@batvibe12: right, and she has that new psionic form that let her fight Gladiator.

On another note, one person who I think could be a problem(not for jean of course) if he can ever completely control his powers is Flint. He's like magneto with dirt & rocks. Could be a cool alternative.

Honestly don't care about this stupid war, just another hero vs hero event the x-men and inhumans should be united. But i sense a lot of out of character writing, for convenience mostly. How long till i can have some united x-men matt fraction-esque stories, at this point who knows at this point i'd be happy to not have a marvel universe vs x-men book. Hopefully they can turn this around, p.s. wolverine nor storm should EVER be leaders of the x-men. maybe not scott but definitely not those 2 they're like the time scott and emma was head master and mistress and we all know how well that worked out.

I think this whole thing is just dumb! Not cause of the whole InHumans, I have always wanted to see them more involved in the Marvel world and how they would interact with the Mutants since they are similar. My problem is the premise all together.

  • It should have been common knowledge that The InHumans didn't know the Terrigan would be poison and it wasn't THEIR collective choice, it was their king Black Bolt. He's the only one that should be hated.
  • The InHumans and mutants should be allies. Not just because they could work together to survive the mist, but because the position they both have in the world. They are both a species of humans with superpowers that would probably get lynched all the same by every other anti-metahuman hate group in that universe. The normal people would probably see them with the same hatred and fear so they are in the same boat as outcasts and for all intents should unite. Heck, they could probably even synthesize the Terrigan Crystals to empower or augment mutants the same way. I want a few characters to get an upgrade in their power sets

I hope they figure out Emma's trick and get it together. Right now their fighting over which species should be the new minority for the human race.

oh marvel, marvel marvel marvel.... you guys just don't care, do you? Axis, Civil War 2, ugly and idiotic DoX, and now the next step, promoting an evil genocidal group. Why is the world fine with this? You're killing people just so you may have powers? Not just the xmen, but also those exposed to the clouds who turn into monsters. Black Bolt isn't a hero, Medusa is Mystique with even less morals, and as readers, we lose our Xmen. We lose our Inhumans (Yes, we lose our Inhumans. Now we have genocidal maniacs depicted as genocidal maniacs but promoted as the next protagonists of the era). And finally, we lose another 6 months of good storytelling. The hat is tipped to Marvel, you guys are simply bad.

I believe this all has to do with the movie rights. When things are settled and FOX gives MCU the movie rights back, Franklin Richards will return in the comics from his travels and fix it all. He is Marvel's Ace in the Hole. A Beyond Omega Level Reality Manipulator Mutant that has not been exposed to the Mist is still safe and nowhere to be found. That is what I think.

Great....Can't wait for this one after death of X. Who to cheer on? the traitors to mutantkind in Storm and her X-men or the queen of committing genocide herself Medusa with her inhuman gestapo.

Damn what was Marvel thinking with this crap and why do they keep pushing the Inhumans?

I love the Inhumans, but they are the Roman Reigns of comics. You can't slide them into the niche that the mutants occupy in the Marvel U for a myriad of reasons. Fetch isn't going to happen. And if the endgame is for me to endear myself to them like I have with the X-Men they're totally going the wrong way about that.

I am still super confused, inhuman powers is not something someone is born with, it is something forced on someone by the inhumans, that is all it ever been, and all we have seen. Black Bolt forced this on humanity, even though it kills mutants and changes humans into something they don't know what until the mist hits them, why is Cyclops in anyway considered a bad guy here? Why is the inhumans given a 6 month pass? Why is Hank okay playing by their rules instead of eliminating their poison. The inhumans never needed this, they literally been in outer space doing this to themselves for thousands on thousands of years, with no sign more inhumans needed. Didn't they stop quicksilver from seeing his kid from simply using it on a few non inhumans? Who thought, with the amount time Marvel had to explain all this, this would be good reasons to side with the inhumans, when I bet a dollar this sort of story is recycled heavily in the case of naturally described villains.

The worst thing is the retcon about how the mists work. It was LONG ago established that Terrigen exposure is harmful to mutants (Quicksilver tried using it to restart the powers of mutants affected by Decimation. To say it went poorly would be to understate it). Not only that, but it wasn't even guaranteed that an Inhuman that underwent terrigenesis would even SURVIVE the process, or emerge as anything other than a mindless, devolved monster.

You are both totally correct. And Cyclops has been the company punching bag for damn near a decade now, don't see that ending anytime soon.

I too believe that this concept is a travesty. On a side note what do you think the crumpled orange thing is in the lower right hand corner of the cover? It is on top of the crumpled paper. I haven't got a clue as to what it is.

Completely agree with you. Hopefully with the royal family going back into space it's Marvel admitting they messed up with the Inhumans and there genocide of the X-men.

Also on a side note I hope when they get blasted back to space that spells the end for Medusa and Johnny. What a weird and just all around awful relationship that was.
