review 1: Not bad, but at times internal chuckles at this work happened, as the feeling of a big self-parody began to develop..... Season two almost comes across as a send up and goof on the contrivances and cliches of season one. And the longer this went on, i began to suspect Holden is just flat out "not that smart" ....and an idiot. ...he avoided that impression in season one.....i mean, c'mon dude, the utter shock and surprise each time both lynch & tao manipulate him and he "just now figured it out" and is amazed by his circumstances and cant believe it, kind of became laughable....In season one, this effect didnt happen,it stayed fresh, moved quickly and seemed much more focused, i love brubaker & phillips, this is still way better than most stuff out there, but i am not reall... morey sure anyone needs to bother with season two, ----but SLEEPER season one, i fully recommend!!!
review 2: Season two of Sleeper brings Holden Carver's journey to a close. I think I may have liked the first season a little better. There's an almost manic energy that takes up much of this volume, with Carver being pulled between Lynch and Tao and deciding to play them both. Tough game, and I spent much of the book wondering if he'd lost it, and what nasty end he would meet. The ending was satisfying, complete, and as good as it could be. less

Conclusion to a really fun super-powered criminal underground/government conspiracy/espionage tale.

That was great. A good intro into comics book for those who don't care for capes and tights.

Not as great as the first volume but still a pretty damn good series overall.

Good. But not as good as Criminal or Incognito. I wish I had read this first.

Great series! Everything Ed Brubaker seems to touch turns to gold.
