If you haven't previously read that issue, the reprints and the framing pages neatly blend together to tell a story that wouldn't make much sense without the reprinted stories. I'm pretty sure Marvel will include them as a "bonus" of sorts, hence the larger-than-usual page count.

Since some of the Starlin framing panels actually were placed on the reprint pages, and since the story narrative was pretty seamless between the framing pages and reprint pages, this seemed appropriate. So, yeah, I think this volume came together pretty well. We'll have 2 or 3 years to wait for an Avengers book that might cover the 3 Defenders issues, but this one'll do just fine.
My name is Oedi and I soar amidst the stars far from the planet of my birth. I guess this starship is the closest thing I've got to a home now, for I am a refugee and an outlaw. Vanth Dreadstar, Syzygy Darklock, Willow 327, Rainbow and Skeevo are my family. We are revolutionaries. Our goal? To bring an end to the 200 year old war between the Instrumentality and the Monarchy!

I was thinking that GS D #1 would be listed either before or after Defenders #14 (dated July '74, pg. 240). What info am I missing that would explain the order of these books? Was the placement of GSD#1 done simply to avoid breaking up the story between D #13 & #14? Why not place GSD #1 after D #14?

GS DEFENDERS #1 takes place between DEFENDERS #12 and #13 (Subby still has his green trunks rather than his new costume acquired in SUB-MARINER #67), so they placed it in it's correct place based on chronology rather than on-sale date.
