Thief of Thieves: what's going on with this title?

Hey everyone - I searched for the Official Thief of Thieves thread and went 14 pages back and didn't see it (maybe I missed it) - is this canceled?  I've not seen any solicits for it in the past few months unless I missed that, too (typically I don't) - does anyone have the scoop on what's up with this title?  Is it canceled?  It's a great story so I hope not...(crosses fingers)

I really enjoy this book.  I guess because it didn't spec well, that most abandoned it.  I think it's been around 7 months since the last issue.

Does anyone know if I can email Image or something to inquire about what's going on?  Anyone?  Beuller?  Beuller???

I've read this book since the beginning and much enjoyed it too.

For me, the best arcs were the early ones, say #1-18 or so. I loved the relationship between Conrad and his son; for me that's the beating heart of the title. The Venice arc was cool too. The darker arcs in the 20s didn't work for me, and the villains got too cliché. I still think it's a concept bursting with potential, but (if I'm honest) switching up the writers seemed to scramble the tone too much. The art has been gorgeous all the way through though.

Thief of Thieves video game?

The trailer doesn’t excite me very much. Perhaps Skybound is setting up the videogame backstory as a springboard to something larger?

Seems like its going to be a game on Steam and not a platform game. Doesn't really interest me.

Any updates on this or should I just give up on it?  Thoughts anyone?

I'd say it's dead. #37 came out back in November 2016! A new issue now would be a pretty amazing comeback.

OT, but take a look at this 'Negan Kills' variant cover of #33 from last year. I definitely never saw this one.

I thought someone big quit from the book and they needed more time to continue. 

Can't recall, but thought it was Diggle and was mentioned in the last book. 

It's taken a long time off before, I could see it returning.  Though the past sales numbers would tell us what the true fate is.
