This reminded me of firefly mixed with riddick and star wars. Very fascinating and very cool.

Copperhead is a sci-fi/western. The main character is a single mother who has taken on the role of sheriff on a backwater planet. Her only deputy is a war veteran that views her as taking his job. It does follow a police procedural format to some degree because of her position. This means it can be a little predictable at times, but it is still a fun read.
There are a couple aspects I particularly enjoyed about this book. The first is the relationship between humans (specifically the protag) and the androids they created to fight their wars. This starts off pretty vague, but it ramps up when the sheriff comes up against one in her investigations. That portion of the story was very satisfying. The other one involves the deputy and his past. It isn't explained in detail. There are really just hints to it until a great sequence that shows part of what turned him into such a gruff character. Those character building elements kept me along for the ride.
Overall, the art is average. It details the setting nicely, but most of the time it doesn't stand out. There is a nice variety of alien creatures in the book though. I look forward to reading the next volume.

This was ok. 2 1/2 stars I think. Not sure if I would pick up the next one. I didn't *not* enjoy it though

3.5, really. It wasn't hands down the most amazing comic series I've read, but we're definitely going to be reading more of it in my house. Here's my Sticky Note Review http://thebooksupplier.com/2018/04/09/copperhead-vol-1-sticky-note-review/

This was a fun, solid, Sci-fi/western comic book. The first five issues wrap up nicely and serve as an excellent introduction to life on an alien frontier planet.
Art, color, panels were all nicely done.
And really that's all I have to say. I wasn't blown out of the water and wanting to run around like I had just found the world's first real-life working (just like it did in the movies) Lightsaber (Jedi powers not included).
But I was entertained for just under an hour, and really that's all that I was after.
So, a success! Enough that I'll check out the next trade when it's available anyway.
