Our contracts with most of our publishing partners only cover new magazines as of a certain starting date. This is because artists might leave a publisher or the industry as a whole, making it very hard to track them all down to make sure everyone gets compensated if we were to license older magazines. We've literally had people trekking through mountains in Japan to make it possible to bring over certain older titles to the West, and that's for a single artist.
Furthermore, we simply don't have the resources to go back and publish decades of older magazines while also keeping up with thousands of pages of new content each month. As such, it's always been our plan to focus our attention on new releases and expanding into other magazines when possible, rather than releasing older magazine content. That said, we do release older books from time, as those projects are a lot simpler to manage in this aspect.
I suggest reading the
subscription FAQ to find out how far back each magazine goes, but feel free to ask if you have any further questions.
Then why did Jacob made the announcement saying that they were excited for getting the
Comic Koh License and how well the first volume did, then it became part of a rotating slot, and now is left in the dust based on what you said since you can't track artists? Also, I would appreciate that my comments don't get deleted for no reason since I never post anything that's worth deleting for. I simply pointed out that Fakku can't even keep up with their current lineup, so OP should not expect to get older releases anytime soon.
