Notes
- "Some Other Time!" takes place prior to Guardians of the Galaxy #1.
- Also contains "Vance Astro versus Marvel Boy", explaining the differences between Vance Astro (Earth-691) and Vance Astrovik (Earth-616), "Friends of the Guardians!", detailing the allies they've made, a pin-up page of Aleta, a pin-up of the full roster of the Guardians of the Galaxy, "Charlie and Nikki Cut-Out Action Figures", "Questions and Answers About Starhawk!", answering questions about Starhawk, and "The Facts About Martinex", detailing the biology and powers of Martinex.
- In his retelling of the Origin of the Guardians, Starhawk stated that the Badoon attacked in 3007 A.D., less than one year after a treaty between the warring colonies had been ratified in 3006. This is inconsistent with the fact that the United Federation of Earth was established in the year 3000.[1]
- When the Korvac Quest was written, it was believed that Reality-691 diverged from the mainstream reality due to events that occurred in Marvel Two-In-One #69. This meant that the Guardians only had to travel back in time from 2977 A.D. to "1991" (topical date) in order to return the stolen power to Galactus. However, the fact that it was later decided that the two timelines had diverged somewhat earlier meant that the Guardians had to also travel between timelines to reach Galactus in the past of Earth-616.
