Writer Jay Faerber (NEAR
DEATH, DYNAMO 5), artist Scott Godlewski (Dracula: The Company of Monsters),
colorist Ron Riley (NEAR DEATH, DYNAMO 5), and letterer/designer Thomas Mauer
(UNDERTOW, UMBRAL) have won the hearts of readers with their new science fiction
western series COPPERHEAD. Issue #1 has sold out completely and is being
fast-tracked to a second printing to meet customer demand.
"Scott, Ron, Thomas
and I are blown away by the response Copperhead's gotten,” said Faerber.
“We've been having a ton of fun in the mining town of Copperhead, and we're
thrilled people are responding to it. The ride is just beginning!"
In COPPERHEAD #1 readers
meet Clara Bronson, a single mother who takes the position as new sheriff in
Copperhead, a small mining town on a distant planet. But while Clara might seem
like an ordinary lady in all respects, she has one or two secrets she’s hiding…
and secrets don’t last long in a small town like Copperhead.
Set in the 24th century
and featuring Western archetypes through a sci-fi lens, COPPERHEAD is a fresh
new series that Faerber described as “Deadwood meets Firefly.”
COPPERHEAD #1 has
completely sold out at the distributor level, but may still be available in
comic stores. It is currently available digitally on the Image Comics website (imagecomics.com)
and the official Image Comics iOS app, as well as on Comixology on the web (comixology.com),
iOS, Android, and Google Play.
Image Comics is pleased to
announce that this first issue will be going back to print to meet customer
demand. The second printing of COPPERHEAD #1 (Diamond Code AUG148041) will
release on 10/8.
COPPERHEAD #2 releases 10/8 as well and will be available for pre-order
