Sleeper

In this taut, noir-tinged espionage thriller from Panini France, writer Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips—joined by Sylvain Doucet and Jérémy Manesse—craft a four-issue miniseries following undercover operative Holden Carver as he navigates a web of double-crosses and psychic threats. Caught between his handler John Lynch and the enigmatic, manipulative Tao, Carver must contend with allies like the lethal Miss Misery and the unsettling Peter Grimm, while the x-ray-visioned Triple X-Ray adds to the tension. Originally serialized in 2008–2010, this series distills Brubaker and Phillips’ signature blend of crime and superheroics into a compact, high-stakes saga that deepens the morally gray world of their earlier collaborations.
