A lot of stores are lucky if they sell even 3 copies of top-tier characters.

No longer monthly but come out whenever.

Hate to admit it, but I did & I really enjoyed it. There wasn't a lot on the stands & I needed a fix a little stronger than just The Flash & Kamandi Challenge could provide. A $6 "what the hell?" but Aaron did well. He really tied alotta Marvel history together in this 1st ish & went back to the more iconic & archetypal versions of various heroes in the book. It doesn't look like Marvel's giving up the ghost anytime soon on the new versions of old heroes, but Aaron's setting up intriguing, mysterious, & fun scenarios to bring the old guard back. Really fun was when the book starts a million years back & you still see versions of familiar faces. Also, New Universe (1986) stuff is being used along with a lot of stuff that you really need to know your Marvel History for. Here I go again, but I'm down for the core run of this event.

Hate to be that guy, but IMO, we're just being set up. These are the same guys that ruined the characters. They are desperate to improve sales, and when they do, they'll go right back to their hair-brained ways.

I read it too. I liked the main art and story was ok.
So, they showed the real Logan but I wonder how he got out of his adamantium prison?
