- The Doctor was trying to take Amy to Basingstoke, and later suggests that the settlers name the planet "Basingstoke".
- Amy says it feels weird to stand in a rainforest without "a David Attenborough voice-over".
- The Doctor compares the colony to Botany Bay.
- The Earth Empire has been using "undesirables" to test new world for colonisation since the Nigella IV massacre.
- Amy transforms into a butterfly-like creature.

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Writer Jonathan Morris jokingly claimed on his blog that the story's name was stolen from a B-side on an Erasure single.[1]
- The first words spoken by the Eleventh Doctor in his comic book tenure are; "Okay... I'm ninety-nine per cent sure this isn't Basingstoke!"
- Supernature marked a changing of the guard for the regular writing staff, with Jonathan Morris taking over from Dan McDaid as the principal comic writer on the magazine. It also made Mike Collins the first artist to have drawn the first DWM appearances of three Doctors, as he had already handled opening duties for the Ninth and Tenth Doctors. It added to his already impressive lead in terms of "most number of Doctors drawn", as he had previously drawn at least one story for each Doctor since the Seventh Doctor.
- The third edition of the reference book AHistory dates Supernature to circa 2895, as it is set during the time of the Earth Empire.
Continuity[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver as a torch. (TV: Dreamland)
- While not technically a proper organ, the gene splicer resembles one and the Doctor operates it like one, once again demonstrating a good knowledge of how to play them. (TV: Attack of the Cybermen, The Lazarus Experiment)
- The Doctor reacts badly to seeing Amy naked and she makes no attempt to cover herself. (TV: Flesh and Stone)
