As hot as it is, and it is very hot, also for us.

But I'm not sure what will happen three years from now with all those paperbacks and single issues that we're having.

I guess they will still be in demand because it's a fantastic series, but you don't know.

So that's a benefit.

And this is why we also try to use them as, you know, it's not just purely transactional that we get like a lot of revenue from them.

It's just putting our name out there.

So people see the variant edition for an Omni where we did now, we announced our third or fourth,

second and third omnibus edition from DC Comics, what we have exclusives for.

And I can see like a lot of first-time customers coming to us who didn't know us before.

So that definitely is a plus.

But yeah, you need...

You need deep pockets because you have to guarantee a minimum to the publisher and so on.

For some reasons, I won't get into the details.

It didn't work out.
