More potential goodness from the good people at Image. I wasn't overly excited about this until I saw the BKV seal of approval.

 

 

Welcome to Copperhead, a grimy mining town on the edge of a backwater planet. Single mom Clara Bronson is the new sheriff, and on her first day she'll have to contend with a resentful deputy, a shady mining tycoon, and a family of alien hillbillies. And did we mention the massacre?

 

Writer JAY FAERBER and the art team of SCOTT GODLEWSKI & RON RILEY bring you this gritty 24th Century Western with an extra-long first issue for the regular price of $3.50!

One of the best #1s I've read in a while. Just enough exposition to get to know the characters without slowing down the plot, tight -script with organic action & humor, clear relationships/power-dynamics between the main players, well-defined character designs, and excellent art that captures the scope and desolation of the desert planet. All the ideas have been done before, but their execution so far has been top notch. Really looking forward to #2.
