True, great series. Just wish it were a but longer or more dialogue

Yeah, the art is awesome. This is my favorite issue so far, but I really wish there was more dialog. Obviously Nick is having Shawn portray most of the story visually, but his writing is too darn good to take a back seat to the art.

Didn't want to start a new thread for issue 7 but it is out this week:

I don't often agree with the guy from the Buy Pile but I think he hits the nail on the head with issue 7 so I'll just let him speak:

"There's a moment during the Pierce Brosnan remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair" when Rene Russo realizes what's happening, realizes that there's nothing anybody can do but enjoy the show, and she kind of smiles. The camera catches it, and what happens on screen is sheer magic. There's a moment in this issue of "Thief of Thieves" that's like that, on the very first page, when the police detective finds out exactly what really happened (as much as she can) and starts to break down. The explanation of what really happened when the heist went ... well, not exactly "wrong," just differently than almost everyone expected, leads to a moment that Walt White would appreciate after his early fifth season shenanigans on "Breaking Bad," and the symmetry of this was simply splendid. The entire series has been close to the mark, but to have this kind of culmination worked amazingly by itself and will surely make the collected edition a treasure. Wonderful, wonderful work."

Really wraps up this first arc well and the clever heist was fun. This series has gotten better and better each issue.
