* It is revealed that it is the [[TARDIS matrix]] that has taken the form of Martha throughout the story; the Matrix proceeds to take on the forms of [[Harry Sullivan]], [[Leela]], [[Mel Bush]], [[Steven Taylor]], [[Sarah Jane Smith]], [[Adric]], [[Nyssa]], [[Kamelion]], and, finally, [[Susan Foreman]]. Although he isn't impersonated, [[Sabalom Glitz]] is also mentioned, creating confusion as to whether Glitz has travelled with the Doctor or not. | * It is revealed that it is the [[TARDIS matrix]] that has taken the form of Martha throughout the story; the Matrix proceeds to take on the forms of [[Harry Sullivan]], [[Leela]], [[Mel Bush]], [[Steven Taylor]], [[Sarah Jane Smith]], [[Adric]], [[Nyssa]], [[Kamelion]], and, finally, [[Susan Foreman]].

*Issue #3 illustrator Stefano Martino drew [[The Doctor's scarf|the Fourth Doctor's scarf]] at a peculiarly short length, resembling a normal scarf in size. In reference to this, the Tenth Doctor comments after his recollection of the former Doctor's adventure that he was "sure [his] scarf was longer than that". | * Issue #3 illustrator Stefano Martino drew [[The Doctor's scarf|the Fourth Doctor's scarf]] at a peculiarly short length, resembling a normal scarf in size.

* Due to a printing error, the dialogue balloons on Page 1 of Issue 6 were left blank. The absence of the dialogue had caused confusion over whether the villain was meant to be the [[Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor]] or [[the Valeyard]], since most references to it were on this page (although the Doctor refers to the villain as the Valeyard on a later page). [[Tony Lee]] posted the missing dialogue on IDW's web forum [http://forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopic.php?t=5303&highlight=], and the dialogue was fixed in the trade paperback release. | * Due to a printing error, the dialogue balloons on Page 1 of Issue 6 were left blank.

* The fact the villain takes the form of the Meta-Crisis Doctor, and refers to himself as [[the Valeyard]], added credence to the theory that the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor could be destined to become the Valeyard. The Doctor, however, laughs at the idea. Until such a time as a connection is actually made, the fact the villain chooses "the Valeyard" as his alias means that, regardless of his appearance, the villain being impersonated here is indeed the Valeyard. | * The fact the villain takes the form of the Meta-Crisis Doctor, and refers to himself as [[the Valeyard]], added credence to the theory that the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor could be destined to become the Valeyard.
