A recurring and depressing theme I am seeing in posts about ELSEWHEN—and this applies generally—is people asking where they should start reading. My instinct is to say PAGE ONE!! But then I remember shop managers and retailers tellng potential readers that they HAD TO read GENERATIONS before they could read GENERATIONS II , and a concerned father at a con asking what needed to be read before starting NEXT MEN. We did this to them. Generations (ahem) of readers being trained to believe no one could simply step into our fantasy worlds, as I did with Superman and Batman and the Fantastic Four, and START READING. That copious amounts of “homework” is necessary. I recall an early WHAT IF? where a footnote advised readers to “check out”’a book published in 1940! Madness.
