So the thing is, nobody really cares about the lore as the average buyer. Because the average buyer doesn't buy comics. Like by your logic, plenty of indie titles would be selling GANGBUSTERS on the open market because they lack an overarching lore or continuity.

And, to be fair, some of them sell fairly well...for a comic. Something is Killing the Children was I think the bestselling comic of 2020, but that still only amounted to like 200k units sold?

It's clearly not the lore that makes people not buy comic books...or at least Western ones. The same year SiKtC smashed the market with almost a quarter million sales, Demon Slayer sold I think 12 million volumes worldwide?

It appears pretty clear that the problem goes a lot deeper than "much lore, no buy". There is something fundamentally wrong with the way comic books are marketed, presented, and written that makes them unappealing to the average buyer. No continuity reboot is gonna fix that, as evidence by the fact that no continuity reboot has ever worked in the past, and comics without long term continuity aren't selling all that well either.
