It is not unheard of for a comic to have changes from the time it is solicited to the time it is published. These differences can be as small as a slight cover modification to an entire story or creative team change. The Joe Quinones variant (aka BB-8 variant) of Poe Dameron #1 was solicited with a slightly different cover than was used in the solicitation.
Star Wars: Poe Dameron #1d solicited coverStar Wars: Poe Dameron #1d - Marvel Comics, U.S. (April 2016) actual cover Joe Quinones variant
On the solicited cover, BB-8's head is leaning back as the droid races away from Poe Dameron and other Resistance pilots. On the published cover, BB-8's head is leaning forward. I'm not sure why the cover was changed, but the art modification does accurately reflect BB-8's head placement when he is rolling forward. In the movie, whenever we see BB-8 rolling forward, his head does come forward, which lends an air of determination on the part of the droid to get where it is going.
