Review: Sleeper: Season 2 #1

Sleeper: Season 2 #1
Writer: Ed Brubaker
Artist: Sean Phillips

Ed Brubaker is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers. I've read a smattering of Batman stuff he's done and also seen his work on Gotham Central. But Sleeper has to be one of the finest books out on the racks. I'm looking forward for when he takes over the Authority.

Sleeper: Season 2 picks up right where the first mini series ended. The protagonist, Holden Carver, originally a secret agent planted deep within a super villain's organization now no longer knows his role in the world. The best part of this book is how each issue tells a complete story but also fits within the larger framework. The pacing is like a serial drama. This is the best book that's not being read right now. Here's hoping that this strong start is indicative of the rest of this Sleeper "Season."
