I don't recall being lost in those early reading days (mid 70s). I did begin to relish seeing those reference asterisks, who knows maybe I had that issue they were alluding to!

Fans are spoiled -- and in a world with AI creations it is only gong to get worse.

There’s also a tendency on the part of some fans to complain if they don’t know everything that’s going on by the end of the first issue (of a multi-issue story).

That seems to spring from the same mentality that complains about exposition, only “We already know this!” morphs into “Why don’t we know this??”

Never give the fans what they want.

I see this with TV Series all the time. The phrase I hear from people is: “I
can’t get into it…..”
