Notes
- This comic story was rereleased in The Flood graphic novel .
- The graphic novel The Flood reveals that this story was originally going to feature the canonical regeneration into the Ninth Doctor. The magazine passed on this opportunity as they would not have been able to show Destrii's reaction to the regeneration; DWM originally intended for Destrii to travel with the Ninth Doctor in a series of adventures set before Rose, but this idea was vetoed by the BBC, who wanted only Rose Tyler to travel with the Ninth Doctor. It would not be until DWM Issue 400 in October 2008 that the comic strip would introduce another non-TV, comic strip-only companion in Majenta Pryce. Destrii's ultimate fate has yet to be chronicled.
- The Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver is destroyed by the Cyberleader. He presumably builds another one before (DW: Rose (TV story))
- Izzy Sinclair makes a cameo.
- Grace Holloway makes a cameo.
Continuity
- The story features the return of MI6 and its director, Leighton Woodrow. They were previously used in The Fallen.
- The Cyber-Controller returns, having last been seen in DW: Attack of the Cybermen.
- The Cybermen again travel through time (DW: Earthshock, DW: Attack of the Cybermen).
- The Doctor mentions that radiation exposure is a good way to trigger a regeneration, he knows this because that was how the Third Doctor regenerated in DW: Planet of the Spiders.
- Cybus Cybermen invade Earth a few years after this attempt in the episodes (DW: Army of Ghosts / Doomsday)
