Still enjoying this series quite a bit, but in this volume the artist changes. These things happen, but as a reader it always throws me off. There was just enough difference in the designs of different characters that it threw me off. Especially Boo, his character looked quite a bit different. This was my least favorite of the 3 volumes, but like I said, still enjoying it. Volume 4 soon.

This series keeps getting better and better. The artist is different in this volume, but that didn't distract from my enjoyment.

Pardon the pun, but I always come away from each new volume of Copperhead feeling like I was just on a blind date with a snake oil salesman. Like, everything seemed good while I was in it -- and then the thing is over, and I feel like I've been had. It's just that Jay Faerber seems more concerned with cliffhangers and punchlines than he is with actual story. I don't mind how goofy and simplistic Copperhead is -- the outlaw aliens, the Boss Hogg-esque villain, the sheriff-deputy rivalry, and even...

Volume 3 has a new artist and unfortunately the art is not as good. The lines are thicker and sharper and the detail is less fine. Facial expressions seem to be a particular problem, especially surprised looks.I’m also realizing that Copperhead is less cop drama and more shoot-em-up, which is disappointing. Assuming the main plot thread is concluded in this volume, the resolution doesn’t seem satisfactory, as the culprit seems like a secondary concern and the assumptions leading to their identif...

The concept isn't bad. The Mayor of Copperhead is murdered. While Sheriff Bronson is trying to investigate, the big wigs make Budroxifinicus the acting mayor, which Bronson doesn't take well. Meanwhile, Bronson' ex shows up with news about her other ex. The way the story plays out isn't great. There could have been a lot more drama between Bronson and Boo. And also the investigation could have been better plotted. This is only four issues and I think this story could have benefitted from more ro...

I’m not sure why I continue to read this series,’except that I have a soft spot for westerns. In space, so this series checks off two boxes for me. However....the story is pretty conventional, and feels like any number of stories I’ve seen in the past, cranked out weekly by writers tasked with filling a 20- or 40-minute time slot. The main character has anger issues and would rather beat up people than investigate. Her son is a fresh-faced wonderful guy. She’s running from what appears to be an

The Mayor is dead! The new sheriff of Copperhead is embroiled in finding the killer, and this all goes horribly wrong. With her erstwhile Deputy being made the interim Mayor, this adds more fuel to an already explosive bomb, ready to blow. The sheriff goes deep to find the killer and heads into outlaw lands after traces and clues of who may be the culprit. A truly dangerous and disgusting foe awaits her and the epic battle between them is intense. The follow up story is satisfying and thrilling

Why is there always an art change on comics I like? =/

Still going strong. Engaging storyline, lots of interesting characters, and a hard as nails female lead to boot.

Another satisfying volume in this great series! The artwork isn't like fine art, but it's just right, just perfect to convey this story...if that makes any sense. Great characters and story lines, this is one of the coolest books going, in my opinion.

Just keeps getting better.

This trade was a slight step down from the two previous trades. With 20+ pages of process drawings and sketches, the trade read like 3 standard issues. In addition to the length, it seems like it was abbreviated across the board. As though we're reading at 1.5x speed, there are plot jumps that seem more drastic and unexplained than was the case in trades 1 and 2. It's still an interesting storyline with the search for Bronson from both exes and the plots related to both mayors. 3.5/5

Sheriff Bronson and her various frenemies investigate the murder of Copperhead's mayor, and a very surprising new mayor sits in City Hall. Meanwhile, the Sheriff's ex-boyfriend shows up in Copperhead, and her ex-husband has escaped prison, so not a great time to be Sheriff Bronson. There's not enough of Boo or Ishmael in this collection for my liking, and I'm not super happy about regular artist and co-creator Scott Godlewski being MIA, but Drew Moss does an admirable job pinch-hitting.

Scott Godlewski did not make the art in this volume (issues 10# to #14). And it's a big loss. In Jay Faeber's own words, Copperhead is a co-creation of Godlewski. And comics are exactly made of visual art and text. Since some comic books don't have any text (classic examples are the beginning of Le Monde D'Edena by Moebius and some stories in Caza's The Age of Darkness) and are able to tell the story only through visual art, one might even say that this is the most important part. Can we imagine...

This one felt a bit short. The other two volumes each had a unique storyline that ended with a conclusion (view spoiler)[whereas this one didn’t finish it’s arch and also continued with the overlying story of the missing father. So the ending was unsatisfactory. (hide spoiler)]

Not as tight of a story as the first two arcs, and it felt like some of the script wasn't as well edited, but I'm not quitting yet!

The story continues in the best SyFy Western story I've read since FireFly was canceled by FOX. I really enjoy the character back grounds and the on going story of Sheriff Bronson. The graphic are just and good and the story line. I highly recommend this series and I'm looking forward to the next volume sooner than later.

This was a really disappointing volume of a story I had been enjoying. While one of the major problems is a change in art. The new artist having some very clumsy staging, and a problem with faces and anatomy. The main problem is that the writing went from fast-paced narrative to jagged, disconnected plot points happening as though the writer was sitting outside of Creative Writing class trying to reach the end of his homework before the bell rang. The characters have gone from complex to two-dim...

Science-fiction western saga continuesHaving read Volume 2 (but not 1), I enjoyed what is basically a Western set in a futuristic setting with many alien races. Clara Bronson is the red-headed sheriff in a small town called Copperhead bringing justice to all. There is of course corruption and political manipulation going on around her. This volume follows on directly from Volume 2 and will lead onto another volume.A good old-fashioned shoot-out type of comic, it’s engaging and fun. Well-written

Copperhead takes a step back in this third volume. It's still a rollicking good sci-fi/western time, but maybe the cliches are starting to add up for me. Deputy Boo, previously uncorruptable, appears to have been easily corrupted by the rich old mine owner. A pair of strangers from Clara's past rocket across the galaxy to confront her about...something. I dunno. Maybe I just liked the characters so much in the previous volumes that A. I don't want to see Boo go bad, and B. I really don't care ab...
