Thief of Thieves is one of the best comic series I've ever read. From the writer of The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman, Thief of Thieves is just pure genius. It kind of feels like any of the Ocean's movies, or The Italian Job. At least, form what I've heard, I've never watched those movies. The series follows Conrad Paulson, a.k.a Redmond, the greatest thief of his generation, his ex-wife Audrey, their son, Augustus, and Conrad's apprentice, Celia. After three years of planning and preparing, Conrad is ready to pull off his biggest heist yet, "The Venice Heist". With funding from his friend, crime lord Arno Montpeliar, and a team of experts ready to go, everyone involved will be set for life, especially Conrad, who won a 4 million dollar settlement against the F.B.I. when he was arrested by Agent Elizabeth Cohen, but let go due to a technicality. However, Conrad quits just days before the heist will take place, trying to win back his Ex-wife, who divorced him after her brother, Conrad's old partner, was killed and she begged him to quit. However, it seems to be too little too late, and Conrad only succeeds in setting off a chain of events that will put everyone he loves in mortal danger.

The fuck, why are you reading all the time? Well, these are graphic novels, I could read them all again in a few hours. Also, I like to read.

New issue, finally.
Mostly a bunch of people having sex. Seriously. Nothing else happens.

This issue was better than the last one. Stuff happened, at least. Celia tries to be the new Redmond, but fails in collecting his team. Redmond Conrad doesn't quite know what to do with retirement, and the most interesting thing this issue, Elizabeth finally showed up again. She's finally been fired from the FBI for going after Conrad, and Conrad gets another few million dollars in the settlement. As Sebastion pointed out, h'es untouchable now, the FBI won't go near him, but he's not going to do anything with that. :/
Liz, meanwhile, is trying to become a Private Investigator. Presumably to take down "Redmond"(Old Redmond, that is. Conrad).
Definitely my least favorite arc so far, since it's just a lot of down-time. Now, I really appreciate down-time in Outcast, and I think Walking Dead could use more, but Thief of Thieves strength lies in it's fast-paced action. Doesn't look like we're getting a heist or anything big happening this issue, so... Yeah. A low point, definitely.

I'm really curious what the next big thing is. Volumes 1-3 is introduces conflict, and wraps it all up. It's it's own little arc. Now, it seems like it's just filling the time until it can find a central plot for the series again.
