Buy SLEEPER!
Over on
Newsarama,
Ed Brubaker pimps the upcoming SLEEPER trade,
Out In The Cold,
which collects the first six issues of "season one" of this excellent
Wildstorm series. The TPB comes out in December, so make sure to
include it in your October preorders if you're interested in this
book. I'll mention this again when I get around to doing my
overview of this month's "Previews Review" columns, but I thought
SLEEPER deserved its own separate mention. It's a great book that
is criminally underordered, so I'm really hoping that more people pick
this up. (And Brubaker touches on some interesting points
regarding the problems of the direct market, so the Newsarama article
is worth reading even if you're already a SLEEPER fan.)
For those who need more convincing, here's a roundup of positive
reviews for SLEEPER:
As far as I know, this book has been universally beloved by
reviewers. I honestly can't recall seeing one single negative
review of this comic (
he foolishly uttered, thereby issuing the
challenge for someone to find a counter-example...) So why
don't you check this out and see what the love's all about?
(And in case any of the SLEEPER creative team read this: Any
chance of an oversized hardcover of the entire first season in black
& white?)
