Sleeper #6
In "The First Mistake," Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips deliver a tense, character-driven installment of Sleeper, where Holden, Genocide, and Pit Bull pursue Nillsun—the former assistant to the scientist behind the black hole suitcase bomb—only to have their mission unravel when Holden is spotted by Veronica St. James, his former partner and lover from Dept. P.S.I. The cover by Sean Phillips captures the moment’s sharp tension, while Phillips’ interior art and Tony Aviña’s coloring ground the story in a gritty, lived-in world.
