We're almost through 2005 already? Where did the time go? What happens when the past catches up with the present? (Sorta sounds like a question the Stranger would ask.)
I love the stranger's entrance line here..."Did somebody use a sentence involving the word 'stranger?'" Also like that he shows up with the bread alluded to earlier in the issue, rather than in his usual voice of doom role. A great use of Cassandra--notice she's been wearing the Stranger's medallion the whole time-- that implies the two of them still have a relationship. All in all makes me wish for a Morrison PS mini series.
I'm imagining the Stranger at a supermarket checkout line digging through his pockets for a coupon and it's making me smile like an idiot.
I also love that, for the first time ever, Cassandra was allowed to change clothes.
Even if he'd never written anything else, this issue would earn Grant Morrison my undying affection.
