Notes
- The Green-Eyed Monster is the final DWM comic story to feature Rose Tyler. The last panel includes a dedication to Billie Piper, Camille Coduri and Noel Clarke.
- The Green-Eyed Monster is, to date, the only DWM comic strip in which Jackie Tyler appears, after she was hard off-panel in The Lodger.
- When Jackie kisses the Doctor a second time, Rose breaks the fourth wall to comment on the spectacle to the readers.
- Given the fact that much of The Green-Eyed Monster consists of fabrications devised by the Doctor to play with Rose's emotions and defeat the Iagnon, it is hard to separate fact from fiction. As it is indicated that Rose had the Iagnon implanted while she was asleep by the Acolytes of Iagnos, the visit to the planet Iagnos did indeed occur. However, Phalia and her Amazastians — with their repeated references to the Doctor's relationship to Rose — would appear to be actors hired by the Doctor. It's not known whether Rose was actually in a "time coma" for weeks as described. It is also not known if the Doctor is truthful when he states that three months have passed, though certainly enough time had to have passed to allow the Doctor, Jackie and Mickey to orchestrate the charade.
- According to Clayton Hickman in his commentary on the strip in the Panini graphic novel omnibus The Betrothal of Sontar, a strip originally showed Rose waking up in a bed, but this was vetoed by Russell T Davies, who stated that no one sleeps in the TARDIS in the new series, though this assertion was later refuted in the Steven Moffat era episode The Doctor's Wife, which mentions the TARDIS as having bunkbeds.

- Rose mentions the Doctor's relations with Sarah Jane Smith (TV: School Reunion) and Madame de Pompadour. (TV: The Girl in the Fireplace)
- When told the Doctor had to kiss Jackie to save her life, Rose screams that "there should have been another way" while surrounded by abandoned alien costumes, harkening back to when the Fifth Doctor said the same words while surrounded by Silurian and Sea Devil corpses on Sea Base 4. (TV: Warriors of the Deep.
