| Notes | - * Reprints the first appearance of the Guardians of the Galaxy from Marvel Super-Heroes #18 with 4 pages edited. The cover was recolored for the reprint.
* The year is given as 3007.
* Charlie has been on patrol for six months at the start of the story, watching for Badoon. This implies that there was an ongoing threat preceeding the invasion.
* Charlie was patrolling the "solar rim", which could be referring to the heliopause.
* Martinex says Pluto was evacuated two months ago.
* On Earth-691, humans had established a Moon colony and had landed on Mars by 1988.
* The program that sent Vance to the stars was called Project Starjump.
* Vance's stasis suit was made with copper foil.
* The planet Vance was sent to is never named.
* Beta Centauri IV appears to have at least two large moons.
* Yaka is described as a mineral. One panel implies that the yaka arrow discharges energy to shock a Badoon, but the action is unclear.
* Vance says that he has "learned how to harness psychic energy", implying that he is only using a special technique, and does not possess any extraordinary power.
* This story was retold in Guardians of the Galaxy #26, with Starhawk manipulating the formation of the Guardians behind the scenes.
