Do comixology sales "count" toward keeping a series going? I mostly read on tablet these days.

I always say people should buy comics in the manner that they most enjoy them, I hate for people to worry about this.

But to be brutally frank, I would say digital sales count most if they are timely. If a book has high digital sales on the week of its release, that makes a big difference for the book. Like, Ms. Marvel sells okay in print (better than most could have expected, I am sure) but it’s a monster in digital sales, Marvel’s number one title, I am told. So that makes a big difference in keeping that book going. Which is lovely and you should all get it. :)

If the book has digital sales months later, I imagine it’s much harder to connect that to keeping a book going. HOWEVER, I do know that the books that keep selling and selling digitally (Secret Six is in this category) do make a difference in other ways. The creators do get a bit of a royalty if certain numbers are met, and also the companies judge it as a way to gauge further interest in the characters, titles, and creators.

So any way you do it makes a difference. But if it’s important to you to keep a book going, please try to buy your digital copy on the week of release. 

Make sense?
