The sum of all fears: Ed Brubaker talks to Newsarama in an attempt to calm rumors about Sleeper's cancellation:

"So, to all the fans scrambling around and worrying, please calm down. Sleeper will reach you every month for a year starting in June, assuming you order it in advance through your retailer, or shop at a cool enough store that puts it on the shelf.

"On the fates of Wildcats and Stormwatch, I'm as shaken up as everyone else is. Joe Casey is a really good friend of mine, and I think Wildcats is the best thing he's written. The fact that this industry couldn't support a book like that or Stormwatch, says a lot about what's wrong with the Direct Market right now. This backwards way of putting out material, which has devolved into a system where a majority of stores don't carry anything for the shelves that isn't in the top 20 or 30 and every other book must be special-ordered by the customer is simply killing the diversity in this field. No matter how much buzz a book generates, if a fan can't find it on the shelf when he looks for it, it may as well not exist."
