	Sleeper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sleeper (car), an automobile that has any manner of modified engine, drivetrain, suspension, brakes or other parts, with the goal of improving its original performance, while still maintaining the outward appearance of a stock, factory equipped vehicle.

	Ed Brubaker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Published by DC Comics "mature readers" imprint Vertigo, the comic was a broad political satire which revamped an obscure 1970s Joe Simon creation.
		Although Sleeper was a success with critics and fans on the internet, the series underperformed commercially, and so it was canceled after its 12th issue, only to be relaunched in 2004 with the same creators as Sleeper: Season Two.
		His initial super-hero comics work tended to incorporate some aspects of the crime genre - examples of this include Batman (detective stories), Catwoman (whose star is a cat burglar) and Sleeper (which featured a protagonist who goes undercover as a super-powered criminal).

	Comic Book Galaxy - Celebrating Five Years of Pushing Comix Forward
		Sleeper is an amalgam of genres, John Le Carre meets Raymond Chandler as interpreted by the pissed-off zombie of Jack Kirby.
		This seamless blend makes Sleeper impossible to distinguish as either a superhero book or a crime book; it is neither and it is both.
		And while his characters engaged in the most unreal exploits, flying cars and absorbing bullets, the philosophy of the book was grounded in grim reality.

		Sleeper is the single character perspective to that, and the exploration of morality and evil; and now the third part is a combination of the two.
		Sleeper, I realized that we were doing a little bit better than we did the first time out, but obviously; the bulk of that series’ readership was coming through the trade paperbacks.
		Sleeper with issue #2, he should be able to follow it, but he also should understand that there’s stuff in there that he won’t completely get unless he reads what’s come before.

		Comic Book Galaxy - Pushing Comix Forward Since 2000.
		It’s still one of the best comics on the market today, but very few people are willing to discuss what they feel is killing their interest in the book, or why.
		To successfully tell this type of story is something that is rarely done in any medium very well, and almost never in the sub-genre of superhero comics, where such deus-ex-machina such as "Destiny" or "The need to do good for its own sake" take the place of a real search for life’s meaning.

	The Comicology Comic Book Podcast
		Again, this might seem like a no brainer… but TONS of comic book readers read their books one time then bag and board them and lock them away in a long box never again to see the light of day.
		Lots of comic book readers seem to look down on web comics, maybe because there is no shortage of bad web comics out there.
		Another great thing about this book is that it is being published by Boom Studios who thus far have been creating IMHO the best new and original comic books today.

	The Friday Review: Sleeper: Out In The Cold
		SLEEPER - to the credit of its creators, Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips - uses the skulduggery and double-dealing familiar in the aforementioned as a mere backdrop or springboard.
		I find this perplexing; SLEEPER is - despite a slow start - an excellent comic book, and in an ideal world, it'd be one of the most widely read series currently on the market.
		SLEEPER is a fantastic read, and I'd hate to see it wither on the vine due to reader indifference.

		I work in the book business and am constantly subjected to the kind of losers who frequent the funny book racks and BIG funny book (aka: graphic novels) shelves.
		Books like Sleeper, 100 Bullets, Sin City, Sandman, Watchmen, and many others have proven that comics are a legitimate literary form.
		Comic book type heroes are perhaps the humanity's way of reaching perfection in itself, and having super abilities is an eternal dream of every person.

	Comic Book Resources - CBR News - The Comic Brief
		Monday afternoon writer/co-creator of "Deep Sleeper" sent the following open letter to readers about the publishing status of his and Mike Huddleston's moving of the title from Oni Press to Image Comics.
		We moved forward with the publishing plans for Deep Sleeper under the impression that we were also going to be representing the film and TV rights for the property, much as we had done on Phil Hester and Mike Huddleston’s first comic with us, The Coffin.
		Deep Sleeper was underperforming in comparison to the previous series, The Coffin, and considering that we had already made scheduling and budgeting concessions to get the project moving forward, we decided it would not be in Oni’s best interest to publish the remainder of the series.

		In the second story arc of Sleeper, a spy comic in which the colorfully code-named operatives possess superpowers, the already ambiguous morality of its milieu grows murkier.
		I came to "Sleeper" after reading a few other titles Ed Brubaker had written, notably DC's deliciously revamped "Catwoman" (which is also a lot of fun)...
		"Sleeper" tells the story of a superpowered secret agent, Holden Carver, who is placed undercover by a Machiavellian Nick Fury type to infiltrate a sinister spy network populated with superpowered, super-amoral bad guys.

		Brubaker's densely plotted writing recalls his early Lowlife comics' merciless eye for underworld grittiness, and he finds dozens of ways to use the metaphorical force of superhero comics to feed the spy story that underlies this tale.
		The comic book Sleeper, the source of this collection, centers on Holden Carver, agent for a covert government organization who infiltrates a mysterious, all-powerful crime cartel.
		I was disappointed to hear that Book 4 is the last in the series as I enjoyed Books 1 and 2.

	ICv2 Talk Back - Fantagraphics Presents Strong Line at BEA
		Of all the U.S. comic publishers, Fantagraphics is best positioned to take advantage of these changing attitudes toward comics in mainstream bookstores, and the Fantagraphics fall list demonstrates that the publisher is moving aggressively to burst through the barriers that have made comics the red-headed stepchild of American publishing.
		Included in the book is "Art School Confidential," which has been optioned by Drew Barrymore as a film, with Clowes and Zwigoff writing the screenplay and Zwigoff directing (see "Another Clowes Film in the Pipe").
		If Clowes is the most popular alternative comic artist of his generation, then Chris Ware is certainly not far behind, thanks to the strong sales of his Jimmy Corrigan graphic novel from Pantheon (see "Give and Take at the BEA"), which has sold over 50,000 copies.

		Before it became a film, "Road to Perdition" was a comic book — or "graphic novel," if you prefer — written by Max Allan Collins, illustrated by Richard Piers Rayner and published by DC Comics.
		And Hollywood seems to be learning that good comic books, treated respectfully, usually make for good movies, regardless of genre.
		Last year also gave us the independent sleeper hit, "Ghost World," a quirky coming-of-age film based on the comic by Daniel Clowes.

		Eventually the book became a bestseller and LaHaye and Jenkins discovered that the story would take more than one book to tell, so they continued the tale in TRIBULATION FORCE.
		Set against the backdrop of the Rapture, in which Jesus has returned as promised to gather his followers and remove them from this world, the characters in Tribulation Force must confront life without their loved ones, struggle with evil unleashed on the world, and ultimately embrace God's truth for themselves.
