Copperhead #16

This 2017 Image sci-fi western puts the tension front and center: Scott Godlewski's cover depicts a frightened young boy held at gunpoint by a hulking, blue-skinned alien creature with a gaping, fang-lined maw — a gripping image that captures the series' knack for blending frontier danger with otherworldly menace. Jay Faerber and Drew Moss continue delivering the kind of gritty, character-driven storytelling that makes Copperhead such a compelling read. If you've been following the series, issue #16 looks to keep the pressure firmly on.
