I remember collecting his series in the 90's. Has he been in anything the past few years?

The last thing I remember seeing him in was Marvel Team-up back in ... 2005 or 06. Something like that.
He was part of a story where a villain came from the future and killed EVERYBODY. The only heroes left to stop him where Speedball, Darkhawk, Dagger, Arana, X-23, Terror, Gravity, and of course Sleepwalker. They had to go into the future where they team up with somebody called Mutant 2099 (I have no idea where that came from) and stop him before he went back in time and killed everybody.
... Which also meant they were stuck in the future because they changed time and there was already a them in the past.
I belive the team was briefly shown again in an issue with Squirrell Girl, but that's the last actual story I remember him doing anything in.
I think that was his last appearance. That one, and a new version of Sleepwalker that appeared in the quickly cancelled Marvel Anthology, were both written by Robert Kirkman, as I recall. I didn't read that Marvel Team-Up: League of Losers story that Alan2099 references, but having read the story in Marvel Anthology (and having put down the first tpb of Walking Dead after finishing and then never picking it up again), I'd say avoid Kirkman's Sleepwalker like the plague.
I loved this when I was a kid. Liked how Sleepwalker was on Spidey's team to beat up all the baddies.

Last I saw him was in a Yost-written issue of Avenging/Superior Spider-Man Team up.

So long as Rick Sheridan is the secret identity of Sleepwalker I'd like this to be made into a Marvel Netflix series! To me, a team-up with Netflix' Dardevil has the potential to be awesome!
He most recently showed up in the Fantastic Four iirc, helping Franklin.
Yeah, he was in the final arc of Fantastic Four, including the "last" issue. IIRC, Sleepwalker helped Franklin save the day against the denizens of the "nightmare" Heroes Reborn universe.

I know he was in some comics a couple of years back but then he just dropped off the face of the earth. I collected some of his comics back in the day... I wonder if he'll ever show up again.
Kirkman's take on the character was intriguing. Sad Marvel never followed up on this story.
Sleepwalker would be a great character to see in a regular series again. Did Sleepwalker ever cross paths with Nightmare?
He was featured pretty heavily in Brian Reed's Ms. Marvel run as part of Operation Lightning Storm along with Machine Man (another character who people say they wish they saw more of and seem to have no idea was in this run). Overall, I thought that team was an interesting concept that was abandoned too quickly. Particularly, there was a character by the name of Agent Sum, who had a mysterious backstory that was only touched on. Then Secret Invasion destroyed everything.
You know, since a Ghost Rider will show up in AOS and a Deathlok already having made an appearance in AOS is there a possibility SLEEPWALKER might be the next obscure marvel character to appear on AOS?
Surprised he never joined up with the new warriors back in the day.
