I just read the first issue of this. Very good, if a little
over-written. Any fans of DeMatteis & Ploog's Abadazad would enjoy it.
But I don't recall previous solicitations indicating this was a 4 issue
series. Was that the intent all along? Or have sales dictated a quick
end to the book?

It was always mentioned as a 5 issue miniseries before this. Could be
any number of reasons it changed, and that might just by a typo in
this solicitation (the proof-reading on solicitation copy is
notoriously lax for all companies, Image even more than most).
