X-Men United's Shock Sales Hint at Major Marvel Relaunch
Marvel's X-Men United is soaring in sales, a surprising twist for a title widely believed to be on the chopping block. Despite rumors of its imminent cancellation, the series is performing strongly, fueling speculation of a major X-Men relaunch on the horizon. This kind of strategic move is classic Marvel.
Meanwhile, DC Comics grabbed the top two spots this week. The latest Batman installment topped the charts, followed closely by the final issue of Absolute Martian Manhunter. While DC secured the lead, Marvel still dominated the overall top ten with multiple entries, including Amazing Spider-Man, Punisher, FF, and Iron Man.
Another unexpected hit: Deadman comics are seeing unprecedented success, outselling any previous Deadman title. This shows that niche characters can still break through. However, Absolute Green Lantern slipped, while Marvel Swimsuit arrived just in time for summer, a predictable seasonal draw.

Catzye Take
This strong performance from X-Men United, coupled with the long-standing rumor mill, heavily suggests Marvel is gearing up for a big X-Men shake-up. Fans should watch for new announcements closely. It’s also fascinating to see how a niche character like Deadman can suddenly find a new audience.
