Copperhead #17

The cover of Copperhead #17 says a lot with very little — a face peers through a narrow gap in a heavy industrial door striped with hazard markings, one eye fixed directly on the viewer in a way that's equal parts tense and unsettling. Scott Godlewski's cover art makes striking use of the orange-and-black diagonal banding to frame that single watchful expression, creating an atmosphere of confinement and quiet dread. Jay Faerber and Drew Moss's sci-fi frontier series continues to deliver that distinctive blend of space-western grit that fans of the book have come to love.
