Sleeper, Vol. 1: Out in the Cold
by Ed Brubaker
Welcome to the world of Sleeper.
Holden Carver is DEEP undercover. Holden Carver is working for Io, basically to help protect people and he goes undercover to inflitrate Tao, a man who runs an empire of evil fucking people basically. And as he gets deeper into this world of crime, murder, and more he learns he's losing his mind in it all.
Feels very much world building this first volume with the first two issues or so being a lot at once but you get the idea by the end. The story really starts to blow up on the third issue onward when we get to know the players, the game we're playing, and how high stakes this whole operation really is. By the end, we're on the fence who's good and who's bad finally and a fucked up choice that can leave Carver in bad shape.
I loved 90% of this. Took a bit to get into it but once I did, I wanted more. A 4.5 out of 5.
