What the actual fuck?
Lots of actors try to be musicians and suck at it. Your Bruce Willises, Kevin Bacons, and, worst of all, Russell Crowe, who sings like a coyote caught in a leg-hold trap.
Recently a bunch of actors have tried to the same thing with comics to varying degrees of awfulness. This piece of crap from Sam Jackson is the equivalent of Snakes on a Plane except without the cleverness. If a coyote had the choice between reading this and getting its leg caught in a leg-hold trap, it would choose the goddamn trap.
Avoid this steaming pile. Watch those credit card commercials he does instead. They have better writing and a better plot.

Finished this over a couple of sittings. It does have a bit of that "Samuel L. Jackson" tough guy vibe to it, so fans of the actor will probably like it. It is the story of the outlaw who lands in an isolated planet with an isolated town, which can well be described as a ghetto. Rival gangs vie for power, and our hero finds himself in the middle of it. Being a good hustler, he finds a way to make deals to come out of it, hoping to make some money in the process. It was an ok read. It is mostly a pretty short book, and it ends pretty quickly. The art is pretty good for the volume.

From Goodreads:
From Academy Award-nominee Samuel L. Jackson and Eric Calderon, the team that brought you the Emmy-award-winning, best-selling AFRO SAMURAI comes their next original series-COLD SPACE. When an on-the-run outlaw crash-lands on a hostile planet on the brink of civil war, he finds himself in the crossfire between two warring factions. But in chaos lies opportunity-because where there's money to be made. A hard-boiled sci-fi action-adventure with covers by Eisner Award-winning artist Dave Johnson and IRREDEEMABLE cover artist Jeffrey Spokes!
Not a terrible read, but it’s kinda clunky and has some plot holes. I like Mulberry though. He’s a badass. But Dee? What’s with the hooker gear? Pu-leaze! Now, let’s talk artwork. Excellent drawings and the dark colors fit the theme, but some of it is very hard to read. Talking bubbles are ok since they’re white with black lettering. But any kind of narration or “in the head” type of stuff had dark lettering and dark background. Not good. Next to impossible to read unless in bright light and thus it irritated the fuck outta me. All-in-all it could have been much better, but it’s a fast read, so give it a whirl.
