Just FYI - in China comics are mostly released digital not in paper form
perhaps for newer stuff but back issues are still sold...why yes, on paper, just like with you buying them. And that is what we are discussing right? Back issues and key sales

There is no significant base for purchasing US back or new issues in China in paper form.
Even in Hong Kong. There are 2 comic shops in a city of 7.5 mill people. Neither are selling back issues older than 6 months

Interesting view, but I know multiple sellers that regularly sell back issues as well as keys to that corner of the world....Hong Kong, China, Japan and even southeastern asia. There are people like yourself out there buying.

They could be the exception but I would be amused to see how many of MCS regular mail shipments go to foreign countries and what the precise count might reveal

I am just telling you there is no substantial market in Hong Kong or China for physical comic books. If you don’t believe come and visit yourself. Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Philippines is a different story. There is a strong comic community there with regular comic cons and good comic stores. If you go to one of a few cons in China or Hong Kong you will find Zero comic books. And before you say that there must be a comic book market opportunity in Hong Kong and China - I am just saying that you don’t understand that particular market.

Now that I know about the 2022 changes in online sales reporting requirements...this is exactly the timeline I have in mind as well. Although I'm thinking that come Jan 1 2022 there may be a shortage of online inventory and this could create a recovery, if confidence is not already lost.

She can tell me everything that I don't already know about the MCU. She watched the MCU a second time in chronological order, faithfully watched WandaVision, and faithfully watches Falcon. When I show her the 50 year old first appearance of The Falcon (in Cap 117) she takes a moment to look it over, the way a Japanese Business man might show respect to your business card by staring at it briefly before handing it back to you.
