Episode 79 - Asterisks In Comic Books

Friday, July 4th, 2008 - running time 00:03:40

Reading through some old comic books causes Conor to become nostalgic for the old editor's note.

Want to know what S.H.I.E.L.D. stands for? When exactly did Tony Stark's plane crash? How many issues ago did Iron Man's armor malfunction? All of these questions and more used to be answered by the handy dandy asterisk which lead you to the editor's note. Nowadays, this old form of comic book citation has fallen by the wayside and gone the way of the thought balloon - seen as a quaint relic of a simpler time by the modern, jaded audience. In today's iFanboy Mini, Conor reads some old comics and waxes nostalgic about the asterisk.
