Q: If we are going to compare apples with things that sound, taste, and smell like apples...WHEN did She-Hulk and Spider-Girl sell more than Alpha Flight? And how does that time period compare to nowadays, when talking about sales overall?

I hate to always throw a monkey-wrench into things ("but sometimes the monkey just won't let go! ba-da-boom! thank you, i'll be here all night! all you vegans, try the vegetables; all you non-vegans, try the vegans!")...

...but if we are going to compare sales from different eras/time-periods/years, then number of items sold mean far less than percentage of that time's market does.

(Stupid monkey! Why can't you just let go!)
