Sleeper: Season Two #4

Sean Phillips's cover for Sleeper: Season Two #4 puts a massive, armored figure front and center — a hulking, purple-suited brute with a smooth helmet, glowing red visor, and neon-green trim charging straight at the viewer with clenched fists. The foreboding black void surrounding the figure, spattered with small red marks, gives the image a tense, claustrophobic energy that fits the series' noir-soaked Wildstorm Universe perfectly. Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips were deep into their acclaimed run together in 2004, and "Face / Two Face" sounds like exactly the kind of morally charged chapter this team does best.
