I live in one of the countries where Marvel comics are published by Panini, and generally it's their mixes, hardcovers and trades that I buy. I was wondering if my money counts in supporting the series I buy (that is, the ones that haven't been cancelled by the time they arrive here, about 9-10 months, at least, after they are published in the US), or if that's more indirect, in the sense that it's the license or whatever that Panini pays that ends up counting?

It’s more indirect, as you surmise.
