Copperhead Volume 1: A New Sheriff in Town by Jay Faerber
4.0
This is on the Excelsior shortlist, otherwise I'd probably not have picked it up! I really enjoyed it!
It's a sci-fi-western kind of setting. A new Sheriff arrives with her young son in a tired old mining town and immediately has a murder to solve. There's local tensions with the native species as well the opposing sides of a recent war, and some artificial robot guys who were originally built as a killing machines to fight for the humans. The Sheriff - Clara Bronson - is a lady which is awesome for a start, also has some kind of past she's running from but we don't know much about that yet. Lots of potential!
It's a got a bit of a Firefly feel to the world with its Western style and post-war tensions, although there are plenty of alien species in the mix! Clara is not a lady you want to mess with an makes an immediate impression, and I also really like Budroxifinicus and his delightfully grumpy manner.
Like I said there is a lot of potential for a great series, hopefully I'll be able to read more!
