Dark Horse's Magnus is only a mini series?

[DK2]

I was surprised to see Magnus series listed in the Previews catalog as only a 4 parter. Why is this? Solar gets a ongoing and Magnus is only a mini? Is it their plan to expose Magnus in a more limited capacity? I don't see how the line will succeed with the GK characters if some titles are only minis. I just wondered why.
My impression of the FCBD comics bits of the two characters was that Jim Shooter almost seems to be doing the same stories from his Valiant days with them. I really didn't think Solar seemed original anymore. Magnus was barely a little different. I really hope Shooter doesn't disapoint with these new stab at the GK characters.

It's discussed at the end of this thread.

Seems the listing means that the story is part one of four, while the title is ongoing.

Dear John,


The first story is a four-issue arc. The series is ongoing.


Be well,

This is an email that Jim Shooter sent to someone on Dark-Key.com straightening out any miscommunication there was in regards to magnus only being a 4 part miniseries.
