I'm 31>>107126841Measuring success by sales is myopic in my opinion. If these characters actually managed to get fans and a following, it doesn't matter if they aren't selling as well as the current event or the most popular characters, because they never will. Not everything is gonna sell at the same level, but think about it: Ironheart went from a character that raised eyebrows to someone people can actually relate to, and enough to garner interest in Champions and her own book... Something that didn't happen under Bendis. And a similar thing happens with Nadia, who was basically background character until she was given emotional depth in her own book.
This applies to Sam and Miles also, as well as Kamala. They're not just clones of their mentors/legacies but actual three-dimensional characters.
