Notes & Trivia

 * The title of this issue is taken from the phrase "Stranger in a Strange Land".


 * The Stranger appears in flashback only in this issue, and on the cover. What a tease.


 * So yeah, the Avengers are dealing with the Toad. They should really be helping out the X-Men, who are off trying to stop Count Nefaria from taking control of the world's missile defense system over in The X-Men #94. But, you know... priorities.


 * Sam Reuther is a reporter for CBS.


 * According to one spectator, Thor Odinson has been active publicly on Earth (or Midgard as he puts it) for thirteen years. This would be considered a non-canon topical reference given the rules regarding the passage of time in the Marvel Universe.


 * Beast refers to Thor Odinson as "Red Ryder".
