Thief of Thieves

review 1: The hallmark of any heist story is that moment where you realize that what seemed like everything falling apart is really the pieces coming into place. The greater the leap from tragedy to triumph, the more impressive the tale. And Thief of Thieves manages to pull off a giant leap. From 'how will he get out of this mess' to 'wait, he's already out?' is head-spinning in its abruptness, but it all follows logically and makes sense as it's walked through.The entire book is an impressive heist, and seeing not only how it is played but all the players who are pawns themselves, is fascinating. The thief Redmond is very much in line with the classic con artists, but his story is just different enough to make him an interesting character. The other main characters, specificall... morey his second, and the agent on the case, are fascinating as well (especially the agent; her appearance on the scene is a wonderful moment). It's a maze of twists and turns, double and triple crosses, that is definitely worth taking.
review 2: I put off reading this comic for a long time figuring that it was "just" a caper comic. I was thus quite pleased when I did read it and discovered that it was about an intriguing character, there were great relationships with a lot of people, and it was all told in an interesting way. Then, when we got to the caper, it turned out to be brilliant. So, thumbs up all around, though I have some qualms about the rotating authors on the comic. less
