Tali and Garrus wouldn't work, since when it comes to Tali, she already has a grudge against working for Cerberus when they attacked and tried to blow up one of their ships. And murdered her people. Not only would this hurt her chances of working for Cerberus, but also giving Shepard's body to them. And after the Normandy is destroyed, Tali could have possibly been given data that would help her complete her pilgrimage, making her unavailable. She also might of had a bad relationship with the Commander, like Liara. And not romantically interested in Femshep. Plus, considering even Kal'Reegar is presented as a getting his ass kicked, Quarians aren't good ground fighters, which the comic needs. And being a Quarians without the Normandy makes her days of getting around much harder. Especially on her own. Which makes her returning to the Fleet more likely then searching the galaxy for Shepard for a month. Tali is also going to be more focus on the Quarian/Geth plot, and not on the Shadow Broker plot.
Garrus could of had an entire adventure with Commander Shepard, or he could have been ditched at the elevator for being a Turian. He could have been taught to be more Paragon or Renegade, or he could have remained waiting at that elevator till he got bored. Sure he might still respect Shepard, but there's a difference between "being apart of Shepard's crew" and "being a fan who was rejected". Garrus might have also been taken training courses to be a Spectre, or stayed as a C-Sec Officer for at least a few months. There's too much possible histories that would have to be ignored. And one of the key things the comic brings up with Liara is that "You were one of Shepard's crew. You have a personal motive to help. You saw Shepard die. You are interested in finding Shepard, dead or live. And you would want him back."
Miranda I actually agree with. There is no reason for why she couldn't do exactly what Liara did. The only thing I can think of for why Liara was picked over Miranda was because TIM would rather have an alien die saving Shepard's corpse then Miranda if he could. Other then that, I consider it a flaw in the plot. But plot wise, it wouldn't matter. Miranda already plays a part in saving your corpse. She literally helps bring you back to life. It'd just add to something that's already there, which isn't much, since she's a stranger. Before you met Liara, most probably already thought she was the one that recovered your corpse.
Liara on the other hand, is an LI that has feelings for both Maleshep and Femshep, despite how you treat her. It's literally canon that she has those feelings regardless, which is a good motivation for looking for you, saving your corpse, and handing it to Cerberus to be rebuilt. She isn't a stranger. When she gave you to Cerberus, it means you're either getting personal love or personal hate coming from that. That "She" did this too you. Not just another Cerberus agent. Her. A person you like, dislike, had a romance with, had a friendship with. etc. Whether you like it or not, she considered you a friend, and someone she needed to make up for, for watching you die, and being able to do nothing about it. She has a personal motivate to bring you back. And you can blame her for it. You can go up to that character you didn't like in ME1, and say "YOU DID THIS TO ME!". You couldn't get that with a stranger. And comic wise, since it's Dark Horse, they probably wanted a character that's a trained biotic, who fought pirates and slavers before meeting Shepard, so they can get some force power action.
