Wow, just noticed the Thief of Thieves thread is almost on page 4 of this forum. It was all anyone was talking about a couple of months ago.

Wait until they start talking about casting the TV show, that's all that anyone will discuss again!

Yup,but its still selling,and selling well,especially in either raw or cgc 9.8

[krighton]

ToT does fluctuate a bit but has remained fairly steady....even though discussion of the comic has dropped off some. If the pilot gets to the filming stage i would expect there to be more interest.

 

A 9.8 CGC of #1 sold for $160.00 a day or so ago, less than it sold for at its peak but still good for a comic that has less than 7 issues.

That price is nonsense, .

[krighton]

similar auction sold for $42 a day or so ago.....people were calling Chew 1 at $19.99 insane also.

Really? Maybe i'm mistaken then. Seems like a lot. Maybe it's time to unload

Is the Wildcats selling just hype from the potential relaunch? And - I'll ask again - were they distributed signed or did everyone and their mama back then get Jim Lee to sign their copies?

[krighton]

i think i've unloaded about all i want to of Thief of Thieves before the pilot starts rolling....down to just 1 #1 raw.

The difference is that Chew #1 wasn't available for cover price on eBay at any point - on the day of its release, the first listings had a $20 price tag due to all the pre-hype.

Not sure why they are picking up suddenly but they are moving up in price from just a few months ago. As for the signing, I've seen some with signatures and some with no signatures. There must of been some sort of promotional event where they signed a buttload of them.

Thanks for adding that filter!

Unless, a movie or TV show is made out of them for whatever reason.

 

But seriously how often does that happen? Hardly ever. TWD is a phenomenon that no other series will get close to. There's always talk of movies/TV series of other new books and that fuels speculation in itself.

 

Disagree and agree. How many comic book movies/TV shows have been made already? With TV looking at the success of TWD , I'm concluding that even more interest will be placed at looking into comics for revenue. Smallville was another example of a success based on a comic book character. It's premature to say that "TWD is a phenomenon that no other series will get close to", don't you think? We can't predict the future and that's why I disagree with that statement. How many people do you think may have believed that funny books would have never amounted to anything beyond paper before this media craze?

 

I do agree, though, that "talk" about books getting picked up causes a bump in speculation. That's pretty much a given.

[krighton]

except for Peter Panzerfaust...must be the BBC TV slant not appealing to US buyers. Or the people selling the comic aren't advertising it correctly (which they're not).

[HugeRosen]

Is there any show that's really transitioned from BBC to US besides The Office?

[krighton]

Upstairs Downstairs...there are some VERY popular BBC shows, they don't need to translate to be enjoyable, Sherlock, Doctor Who, etc.

 

if it turns out to be a cool tv show then there's the chance it will be seen in the US.

Life on Mars was BBC as well.
