I understand solicits go out months in advance and cover art doesn’t always reflect the story, but it seemed odd that Captain Marvel was nowhere to be seen in issue 15 of GOTG, is it just an instance of story ideas expanding beyond initial plans?

brianmichaelbendis:

I wholeheartedly apologize to those that find this completely annoying…

 what happened was was that I had a pretty fantastic entrance for Capt. Marvel but took it out because I kind of like the hopelessness of the issue. I like that many of you have no idea how the guardians are going to get out of all of this.

 I promise you she is in next issue and many issues to come and narrates the Guardian’s annual.

 there is a fine century long tradition of things being on the cover that aren’t in the book and I  gladly hold that tradition 🙂

Brian Michael Bendis explains why a comic that doesn’t feature Captain Marvel at all nonetheless ended up with this cover:

I love that they didn’t just swap the cover out for something different. Nope. Just committed and followed through. That’s… something.
