To those fans who had only begun following the comic strip recently and had not read the ''New Adventures'', the story would likely have made little sense. Coming as it did over seven years since Benny's last appearance in a ''DWM'' comic story, and in the middle of the [[Eighth Doctor]]'s run, the story was surprising for its lack of narrative introductions. The [[Timewyrm]], [[Puterspace]], [[Bernice Summerfield]], and [[Smithwood Manor]] all appeared without any narrative explanation. The sudden reappearance of the older Ace in ''DWM'' also meant a return to the continuity of even earlier strips, as her very last appearance in the magazine some five years before featured her unambiguous death as a teenager. | To those fans who had only begun following the comic strip recently and had not read the ''New Adventures'', the story would likely have made little sense.
