You talk about sales being the best indication of what people like, but doesn't that logic really only apply to ongoing series where people can jump off? Limited series don't really have that metric. Because they're finite people are more likely to read it as a whole. If 100k people read Axis and 80% of them didn't like it, it's probably a bad story, even though it sold well.
If people didn’t like AXIS but bought nine issues of it (to say nothing of however many tie-in stories), then those people aren’t very bright.
As a reader, as a consumer, you are responsible for the choices that you make.
And then assuming that hundreds of thousands of other people behaved in a similarly idiotic fashion is delusional.
Occam’s Razor would tell us that the simplest solution is likely the correct one: that people bought and read AXIS (or whatever other story) because they were interested in it and wanted to see how it turned out.
