You're really being a cry baby about the forum conversation. Obviously the sucess of Thief of Thieves as a television show/series/concept is important to the future and current heat that it is experiencing in the market. The notion that you want to limit the conversation in the thread to "Walking Dead 48 is up $10 this week" is depressing at best. relax! Life's too short to get all bent out of shape becasue someone's responsive CGC Board post doesn't squarley fit in mental compartment you conceive that it should.

Tell you what, I'll PM Gaz something that's going to heat up on Ebay UK next week. I could post it here as I did with Saga #1 to give everyone a heads up but as this is the whatever Nico wants thread now, I won't bother. Still, if you want it to be a thread about anything EXCEPT what's heating up on ebay..............

There's 37k copies of Saga 1 ... It's not going to be a hot book except as a CGC 9.8 ... even the diamond variant isn't super hot (yet) and there's only 500 copies of it. Thief of Thieves is the hot title. A raw comicspro variant went from $50 to $300+ in 24 hours. There was an interesting conversation about the differences b/w TOT & WD (e.g., that WD facilitates more merchandise, whether a caper show will have the longevity of a traditional Sci Fi, etc.) before you had a temper tantrum & I'd like to resume that conversation. I think it was much more insightful than noting that a BKV book would have heat on eBay before people figured out the print run.
Wasnt impressed with Saga at all. Hope it gets better overtime. Which it will I am sure Vaughn doesnt disappoint. Enjoyed Secret much better this week.

I'd say the exact opposite. Really enjoyed Saga and Fiona Staples character art and design and the story has me gripped so far! Suppose you can't really compare the two. I think it would be better to compare Secret to Thief of Thieves of which I prefer the latter.

Strange that cos I think you're a *spoon*
Wow you make such a compelling argument. You must have been deep in thought for hours before posting that reply

I'm enjoying Saga as well, although the story is just unfolding.
