About this Collection

This omnibus collects the complete run of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' noir-infused superhero series, originally published under DC's WildStorm imprint. The story follows Holden Carver, an undercover agent who infiltrates a criminal organization while grappling with the powers of a mysterious alien suit that makes him unable to feel pain. Blending espionage, moral ambiguity, and gritty character work, it's a definitive edition of a critically acclaimed modern classic.

"Point Blank Chapter One" from The Sleeper Omnibus (2013) delivers a tense, tightly wound thriller from Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, whose stark art and precise storytelling anchor a high-stakes game of deception. As Holden grapples with the end of his deep-cover mission for Tao, the web of betrayal tightens when Jones is captured and interrogated by a CIA double agent—leading to a violent confrontation that changes everything. The cover by Sean Phillips perfectly captures the story’s grim, relentless atmosphere.
