About the series
In this 2018 DC one-shot, writer Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips revisit the shadowy world of covert superhuman operations they defined in their acclaimed Sleeper series. This single issue catches up with agent Holden Carver, still navigating a life of betrayal and hidden identities within a criminal organization. A taut, self-contained espionage thriller, it showcases the pair's signature blend of noir grit and superhero pathos, offering a potent reminder of why their collaborative run remains a high-water mark for mature, character-driven cape comics.
