I live in a very rural area in the Midwest. There has not been a place locally to buy comic books since the late 90s. In 2018, I started buying some digital comics, which ultimately led to me buying some physical trades. In 2023 I started buying older comic books I had as a kid on eBay. It's been fun so far. I do miss walking into a store and just finding something random, and cool. All the bookstores in my area have shutdown also. At the end of the day, I appreciative there are multiple formats available.
