* The yellow hedgehog in the wheelchair and the blue hedgehog beside her on the fourth panel of the fifth page resemble Silver's sisters: Venice the Hedgehog and Sicily the Hedgehog, original characters from Evan Stanley's DeviantART story, "Ghost of the Future".
* The photographs on Cover A are derived from the various panels in past issues.
	+ Shadow getting out of his truck in Sonic the Hedgehog #19, "Crisis City, Part 1".
* The close-ups of Surge and Kit are both from Sonic the Hedgehog #54, "Overpowered, Part 3".
* In the background of the first page of "Two of a Kind", a pair of citizens can be seen walking past Sonic and Blaze as they notice Silver sitting alone. These characters (whose designs are based on Remilia Scarlet and Sakuya Izayoi from the *Touhou Project* franchise) were created by Mauro Fonseca, and are officially named "Stiletto the Fox" and "Piccola the Cat".
