Avengers are HOT right now, biggest movie franchise EVER. Bigger than Harry Potter and bigger than Star Wars. X-Men, not so much. Good comics, that is about it.

to be fair I think that has a lot to do (in comics anyway) with the fact that the Avengers have recruited EVERYONE! when Spiderman, Luke Cage, wolverine, and now every X-man except Cyclopes, is in your book you steal every fan! I think the movie popularity has to do with the fact that marvel studios simply got it right, they followed the source material and stayed true to the formula... if it ain't broke don't fix it! too many of these other directors are trying to hard to tell there story instead of the character's. they change or "modernize" the costumes to make there telling Hip and Now, when all it really dose is date the movie, and offend the fan base, who then turn there non fan friends off to the franchise instead of attracting them.
