Spoilers!
There were a couple other Easter eggs as well. In the asgardian weapons room, there was something that looked suspiciously like the Eye of Agamotto. The first person the try to lift Mjolnir after it fell was JMS. The guy who pulls the bed off his truck is of course Star Lee. In town, there's a billboard encouraging a "Journey into Mystery." Walt Simonson has a cameo at the feast scene at the end. Eric's friend the gamma researcher is obvious. Anyone spot any others?
