Sleeper #2
Ce second volume de la série Sleeper rassemble la suite des aventures de Holden Carver, un agent infiltré au sein de l'organisation criminelle Tao. Coincé entre son rôle d'espion et les manipulations de son employeur, il doit naviguer dans un univers d'intrigues et de super-pouvoirs où la loyauté est une monnaie rare. Cette édition Panini France compile les épisodes de la série écrite par Ed Brubaker et dessinée par Sean Phillips, poursuivant le récit d'espionnage teinté de super-héros qui a marqué le label Wildstorm.
In "Chapitre sept : boîte morte," Holden pushes forward with a series of tense meetings with Jones to plan the end of his deep-cover mission within Tao's organization, while Tao closes in on his mole—targeting Jones through the CIA's double agent Caruthers. As the net tightens, Jones is captured and interrogated, leading to a brutal intervention by Holden that ends in Caruthers' death and a desperate escape that costs Jones his life. Written by Ed Brubaker and Sylvain Doucet, with Sean Phillips handling both pencils and inks, and Tony Aviña on colors, this gripping issue delivers a visceral, high-stakes escalation in the shadows. The cover by Sean Phillips captures the tension with a stark, haunting image.
In "Chapitre sept : boîte morte," Holden stumbles upon a cryptic message left by the comatose John Lynch, triggering a flashback to a tense moment when Holden learned Veronica was marrying someone else. As he pieces together the note’s meaning, he realizes Jones—once part of I.O.—is now at his side, claiming he’s there to help, but the full truth remains buried beneath layers of past secrets.
In "Chapitre huit : extraction," Holden pushes forward with a risky plan to end his deep-cover mission inside Tao’s organization, coordinating secret meetings with Jones. As Tao closes in and sends the CIA’s double agent Caruthers to target Jones, the two are caught in a deadly game of deception—where loyalty is the first casualty and escape comes at a terrible cost.
In "Chapitre neuf : pour les méchants," Tao sends Peter Grimm and Holden on a high-stakes mission as he closes in on a mole within his ranks. Amid the tension, Holden stumbles upon a file on John Lynch—his own past, meticulously documented, revealing the truth of his infiltration, and forcing him to decide what to do with the evidence.
In "Chapitre dix : à l'épreuve des balles," Miss Misery, Holden, and Génocide Jones take on a high-stakes mission for Diamanda M'Batli to retrieve Cleopatra’s scepter—only to find themselves caught in a deadly ambush. As Génocide’s hidden past comes to light, the team faces betrayal and violence that leave Holden wounded and Génocide dead.
In "Chapitre onze : l'interrogatoire," Holden faces a tense interrogation by Marc Slayton following the failure of a mission that marked the start of his infiltration of Tao's organization. As Slayton questions him, doubts about Holden’s loyalty begin to surface, testing the fragile trust within the operation. The story unfolds in a high-stakes atmosphere, where every word could be a trap.
In "Chapitre douze : le chemin des enfers," Holden is on the run after his release, but Tao catches up with him—only to reveal a past that reshapes everything. As Tao shares his own story, Holden learns he was never a surprise to his former ally, and the truth forces a reckoning. With John Lynch’s return looming, the path ahead is no longer just about escape, but about what comes next.
