Footnotes started to frustrate me greatly as a kid when they'd be pointing out that the comicbook I held in my hand at that moment wasn't its own entity -- *see that OTHER issue so you can TRULY get what you're reading now! No, no, that's not for me. Not just a footnote for a past issue of the same comicbook, mind you -- but footnotes began to pop up telling me that between one page and the next an entire STORY took place in ANOTHER comicbook. I couldn't afford to buy everything, all the time, ya know? And I didn't really want to either.
I remember an ASM issue from about 1977 that was the second part to a tale begun in NOVA, a comicbook I didn't want and a character I had zero use for. Feh! Just let me get this one Spider-Man comicbook, and let it be wholly self-contained.
