Another great installment. A bit slow this time, because not much times passes or actual events occur, but major revelations and a fun look at what must be coming as the mystery of the mine unravels.
Three stars mainly because the art really is getting unbearably bad (since Godlewski left) and the story is generally very simple, but I enjoyed this volume more than any of the previous. A few more twists than normal kept this from having the art drag it down to a 2. I've never seen such wonky faces. Regardless, I'm interested enough to still see where this goes.
Solid continuation that tells smaller stories within the broader established fabric.
I'm enjoying this series and this volume reveals a lot of the Sherriff's backstory. She's certainly one tough customer! What exactly does Boss Hogg have going on down in the mine?
This was disappointing. I really enjoyed the first volume of this series, but the follow-ups haven't been as strong, and this one was downright bad.The soap opera drama jumps the shark. Turns out Clara isn't Zeke's mother, she's his aunt. And she killed his mother, her sister, to stop her from comminting a crime. The dialogue is pretty lazy. There are panels clearly designied for dramatic one-liners but the text is unintersting. Maybe that was a miscommunication between the artist and the writer...
still don't get the dislike for this book. Its another great installment in the series. A little slow yet some revelations occur and some side plots begin to unravel. Really enjoying this and looking forward to more from this series.
Moss's art is really terrible in this volume. It's not just that it's stylistically different from Godlewski (who co-created the series), it's that he doesn't know how to make a character look the same from one panel to the next. It's embarrasingly distracting. I also hate the way he draws faces, but that's a style issue, not a talent issue. But it repeatedly pulled me out of this volume.The writing gets steader in this volume, though it starts with the bad action dialog from the previous volume...
Oooh. Backstory finally comes to the front in the story of Sheriff Bronson, as illicit dealings in the mines begin to bubble over, with bloody results. Still only four issues, and Drew Moss' art is sometimes sketcher than I prefer, but good stuff.Sadly, this collects to only issue 18. There is an issue 19 out there on its lonesome, but the final arc (20-22) got canceled in Dec 2018 because of scheduling issues and has never resurfaced. A shame -- these characters deserve a conclusion.
Still enjoying this series even though it didn't seem like much happened in the last trade, but this trade certainly makes up for it. Some interesting things happened in the issues collected and I'm interested to see how things play out.
Just don't read the last two pages and it'll almost be a complete story arc. Amazing as always. Who knew sci-fi Western was a genre I needed more of in my life??https://www.dropbox.com/s/l5q28mr4k3d...
Pretty good but felt like everything wrapped up a little too easily and quickly. Felt more cliche than the previous books.
This is another one that started strong and is getting weaker, both in art and story, but still mostly enjoyable, and I will continue with the series.
This series goes back up to 4 stars. While the art still isn't as good for the first 2 volumes, the pacing of the story improves a lot over the previous volume and the revelations involved add a lot to the story as a whole. We also seem to be done setting up all the pieces and things are finally moving toward the central conflict.
Volume 4 mercifully picks up right from volume 3's unnecessary cliffhanger. Mayor Boo takes the case, revealing that any potential heel turn was a false flag. Sarah's teacher buddy is deputized. A climax occurs related to Sarah's mysterious backstory.Copperhead is great, but it's also very simple. It provides exactly the revelations and resolutions you want with little or no surprises. Four stars because I had a great time, but as I look back on the story, I tend to think, "Oh, that was it?"
A bit of a step-up, mainly because the story finally develops somewhat as we learn about sheriff Clara's secrets. But the awful artwork by Drew Moss continues to drag this title down. Volume ends on a bit of a cliffhanger about what's actually happening in Hickory's mine, but I'm not sure I really care anymore at this point.
Finally remembered to buy #4 and was surprised by where it went, but the storyline and characters kept me engaged enough to reread 1-3 and 4 in a single morning soooo doing something right in regards to story arch. We'll see what comes next...
This is the best volume of Copperhead. Sheriff Ciara is forced to reveal her past and she must save her adopted son from his criminal father.
Science-fiction western saga begins to approach the end – or does it? Enjoyable stuffThis 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 as well as revelations and betrayal. This volume follows on directly from Volume 3 and will lead onto another volume.A good old-fashioned shoot-out type of comi...
Clara Bronson's bad day keeps getting worse. Not that readers should expect anything less. Still, attending an autopsy of the mayor, tracking an assassin, getting into a brutal fist fight, encountering a not-so-friendly ex-con friend from the past . . . Sheriff Bronson is really good at pissing people off. One just hopes she doesn't push her luck too far.The fourth volume of COPPERHEAD puts a nice bow on the events of the previous volume. Clay may have outwitted a legion of intergalactic police
