Sleeper: Season One collects the first twelve issues of the DC/Wildstorm series, Sleeper, by Ed Brubaker and drawn by Sean Philips. 

I'm a huge Ed Brubaker fan, so liking this was not that much of a surprise. Regardless, there were some very interesting concepts in this book. It also made me miss the days of the Wildstorm Universe, a superhero universe that seemed to allow people to play in the universe, but yet still be really tight.

Sleeper: All false moves

"The third Sleeper collection closes further in on the inevitable confrontation between Tao, head of an all-powerful, worldwide criminal cartel, and Lynch, who commands a covert government organization resembling the CIA with a bad attitude. In it, the surprising bond between the two masterminds and the reason behind their bitter enmity both become clearer. The focus remains on Holden Carver, who infiltrated Tao's operation at Lynch's behest but is now playing both ends against the middle."--Booklist.
