Thief of Thieves Vol. 2: Help Me

Robert Kirkman's  Thief of Thieves is certainly becoming one of my new favorite titles out there on the market today.  This volume he co-writes with James Asmus, the only other book I've read by Asmus was Gambit which I can say was OK but not stellar.  This volume is not as good as its predecessor but it does have one hell of a cliffhanger.  This volume is all about Conrad & Augustus working together but its primary goal is to set up future story arcs by leaving a lot of loose ends.  The first volume on the other hand was just supposed to set the tone for the entire series.  But once you reach the end of this volume you will immediately want to pick up the next one.
