The Damned already being in development at Showtime, it didn't really pop until the news broke about TSG, you're right there. I honestly think there's going to be a natural pull back on prices no matter what happens. The apparent demise of the TSG show has left a lot of folks holding a VERY big bag. That in combination with the recent flood of books as a result of prices jumping, in addition to the typical slow down with the summer season approaching, is cooling the prices. I do see that they're still selling. One thing that should be kept in mind I guess is that up to this point the VAST majority of all sales have been raw books. Raw books that have been sitting around for 5-7 years, not copies freshly off the shelf. The dynamic here is a little different than your typical market. These books being much older, it's going to be harder to find a copy someone may look at and say, "I NEED to get this graded" or "This book could be a 9.8.", so when the third installment of the series comes out, and the buzz builds for the series again, I'd expect any high grade slabbed books to go for a premium simply because there won't be many of them out there. A serious lack of high grade supply is a major factor this series has going for it regarding prices, as opposed to these other series like East of West and Saga. One could also EASILY make the argument that a "horror" pilot (Walking Dead, The Damned) has got a much greater chance for success than a "fantasy" pilot (TSG, Chew). Unfortunately what gets lost in conversations like these is that this is a damn good series. Ultimately, if the attention this book gets, for whatever reason, gives it a broader fan base and more love, then I'm all for it. I'm a noir/horror fan and there aren't NEARLY enough stories of this quality, in this genre, out there.
