Yeah I completely agree with that.
I'm gona put a disclaimer here. I said it was my favourite book, not necessarily the best lol. However, if you like Brubaker, you'll enjoy it. I met Sean Phillips at a con and he signed and doodled in my omnibus, so that book means a lot to me.

“We never lose our demons. We only learn to live above them"
Sleeper is Wonderful, and I'm pretty sure I remember Brubaker arm wrestling people to get them to try the book. I thought the ending was perfect. All this talk of Brubaker, has he put anything out in the last year or two?
Also the recently released My Heroes Have Always Been Junkies. I'm glad the Brubaker subject came up. I keep forgetting to put this on my wish list. I plan on placing an order tomorrow and now I'll remember to add it to the order. Has anybody around here read it yet, have opinions?
I'd forgotten about My Heroes Have Always Been Junkies. It's in my wishlist but I'll probably ask for it as a present for Christmas.
I'm sure I read Brubaker is working on a follow up to The Fade Out too. I think it's set in the same era/world but not directly involving the characters from the first book.

I finished the Dr. Strange & Dr. Doom: Triumph & Torment TPB last night. Quite enjoyed it. I thought it holds up quite well. It was older than I thought it was.
I'm now reading Batman Volume 9: Bloom HC.

I love that Dr. Strange/Dr. Doom story. I hope that in 10 years when they've firmly established Doom as a villain in the MCU they can make some kind of movie about that. Not that it will hold up against Mignola's art.
I started Geoff John's Aquaman with Vol. 1 The Trench.

“We have a saying, my people. Don’t kill if you can wound, don’t wound if you can subdue, don’t subdue if you can pacify, and don’t raise your hand at all until you’ve first extended it.”
