This is a fair cop.

As you can imagine, in order to get out to you guys months ahead of time, our solicitations are written way ahead of time. And sometimes, for a variety of reasons, things change in a story. In this case, Rick had more story than he could fit into the space we’d allowed for it, and so the size of the story expanded, and the particulars changed a bit.

The stuff mentioned in that solicit is still in the cards, but it’s happening later that we’d anticipated when the solicit was written, and in a somewhat-different sequence. So it’s no longer “the first of many”. We tried to make as many people aware of that change as we could in the intervening time, but we couldn’t easily get to everyone.

But you’re absolutely right, it was a screw-up, Mea Culpa.
