On page 3, Jennifer's reference to clicking heels together and saying "there's no place like home" is from The Wizard of Oz movie and book series, just as stated here.

Also on page 3, Marty asks Doc if he's ready to go back to the future and Doc responds, "Was Michael Faraday ready to examine chlorine's clathrate hydrate?" Michael Faraday (1791-1867) was an English chemist and physicist who investigated the  clathrate hydrate of chlorine, in which chlorine molecules bond to water to form a crystalline compound.

Marty remarks to Doc, "I can't believe you made a time machine...out of a hot air balloon!" This mirrors what he said in Back to the Future, "You built a time machine...out of a DeLorean?!"

On page 8, Doc and Marty arrive in 2035 at the Lone Pine Fli-Drome, a hoverboard derby arena (fli-derb). Fli-Derb is obviously a fictitious sport, similar to roller derby.

On page 8, one of the fli-derbers uses the future slang term "Zazz". It's seen to be a popular exclamation in 2035 in later issues. It seems to have multiple meanings, depending on the context.

On page 10, police are referred to as the "fifties".

When the fli-derbers confuse Doc and Marty's entrance to the fli-drome as a terrorist attack, the amnesiac Doc exclaims, "Terrorists? I would never embroil myself with terrorists!" Of course, we know he did cheat some Libyan terrorists out of some plutonium they wanted him to use to build a bomb, as revealed in Back to the Future.

After Marty and Doc crash through a window on hoverboards in their escape from the fli-derbers, Marty remarks, "I liked it better when that happened to the other guy." This refers to Griff (and his gang) flying through a window during the hoverboard chase in Back to the Future Part II.

    On page 12, a 2035 billboard has an image of a hover-vehicle on it with the slogan, "Skraquex - For When You Have to Raque in a Rush!" According to Futurepedia (the BBTF wiki), Skraquex is a quick-loan business and "raque" is the present tense form of the French verb raquer, "to pay".

    A hover-truck carrying synthetic fertilizer is also seen on this page. On page 20, Griff almost runs into the same or a similar synthetic fertilizer truck!

Also on page 12, Doc and Marty are accosted by three advertising drones competing for their business in calling for a taxi ride from Infinicar, Duper-Mobile, or Flifast. These are all fictitious businesses.

On page 13, Doc and Marty visit Bistro Twenty/15 in 2035, in the location where Cafe 80s was in 2015 in Back to the Future Part II. The bank of television screens behind the bar is showing a number of video entertainments, a few of which appear to be super-hero related, since super-hero films and TV shows were so popular in our own 2015. In panel 4, the waiter (Tyce) is wearing a t-shirt bearing what looks to be a print of Captain America's shield. Captain America is a super-hero character appearing in comics and movies from Marvel Entertainment.

A holographic shark is seen swimming through the air of Bistro Twenty/15, probably a reference to the Jaws 19 film seen on the marquee of the Holomax theater in the 2015 of Back to the Future Part II.

On page 14, Tyce mentions Facetagram. This seems to be a portmanteau of the popular Facebook and Instagram social networks, possibly suggesting that the two companies have formally merged by 2035 (Facebook has owned Instagram since 2012).

    When Marty orders a Pepsi, Tyce says, "Semi-colon hyphen close-parenthesis!" before displaying a list of all the varieties of Pepsi that were available in 2015.  "Semi-colon hyphen close-parenthesis!" is the keyboard version of the "wink and a smile" emoticon,  ;-) .

    The list of Pepsis here includes: Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Caffeine-Free Pepsi, Caffeine-Free Diet Pepsi, Limited-Edition Crystal Pepsi, Pepsi Throwback, Pepsi Vanilla, Pepsi Ginger, Pepsi X Energy, Pepsi Lime, Diet Pepsi Lime, Diet Pepsi Lemon, Pepsi Kick, Pepsi Max, Pepsi XL, and Pepsi Perfect. All but the last are actual variations of Pepsi-Cola available in various parts of the world at various times. Pepsi Perfect was the fictitious vitamin-enhanced Pepsi seen in Back to the Future Part II,

    Faced with so many Pepsi choices, Marty orders a Mountain Dew instead. Oddly, the waiter accepts that simple order instead of giving him a list of all the Mountain Dew varieties that actually exist! Mountain Dew is also owned by Pepsi.

When Doc tells the waiter he needs a minute to decide on what to order and the waiter says, "Just give me a hotline bling when you're ready, bae." "Bling" is a slang term for "call" (as in phone call) and "bae" is slang for "babe".

On page 15, Marty refers to the waiter as "garcon". It's probably meant to read garçon, French for "boy", with Marty imitating the word as used in a scene in the 1994 film Pulp Fiction, where the character of Ringo uses the word erroneously as if it means "waitress".
