That's why they can't take this comical approach to the situation, they need to realise that if they want to sell individual issues then that can only work if it keeps up with the very latest issues.
With back issues then they have to recognise the fact that cbr/cbz files exist and have to match up with what people may already have that way i.e. their subscription service must not have gaps left in storylines as a sneaky way to try and get people to go out and buy the trade paperback. Now obviously some people will still choose the free option, but many people have no objections to paying for things they just don't like to feel like they are being ripped off.
