Sleeper #1
This volume collects the first story arc of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' espionage noir series, following undercover agent Holden Carver as he navigates a world of superpowered criminals and double-crosses while cut off from his handler. The collection introduces key players like the manipulative Tao, the ruthless Genocide Jones, and the mysterious Miss Misery, set against a gritty backdrop where loyalties are constantly tested.
"Chapitre un : double mise" kicks off a tense, character-driven thriller in Sleeper #1, where Holden must infiltrate the Nihilist's inner circle to uncover a mole within Tao's network. Written by Ed Brubaker and Sylvain Doucet, with Sean Phillips handling both art and inks, the issue unfolds with sharp pacing and moody atmosphere, revealing glimpses of Holden’s past and introducing Genocide Jones, one of his closest allies. The stark, noir-inspired visuals by Phillips—both interior and on the cover—anchor a story that’s as much about trust and identity as it is about survival.
