  • Hey Tom , I'm one of those nerds who enjoys reading Solicitations since it kind of lets me know what to pre order and with Uncanny Avenger and I quote "Against his masters’ orders a deranged and vengeful Sentry kills an Uncanny Avenger! No hoax, no dream and only the first casualty of many!" Which was a total lie!!!! Why Marvel allow for lies to be printed? To up the sales? This is very shameful since I went running to the store and reading the book there and all just to get frustrated!!

    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.

      Nice use of the slippery slope fallacy. Just because a solicit was wrong, a solicit written months before the book was...
