Copperhead, Issue #12 begins with Clara Bronson reacting to the revelation from Issue #11 that Zeke has become the new mayor. She doesn't like it, but Zeke claims that he won't be the puppet of Copperhead's richest citizen, Hickory, and that he'll actually do some good. She goes home to find more trouble there. Clay Ford is in town, and she and he have history together. On top of that is the revelation that the old mayor wasn't killed by a bullet but by some sort of alien worm.
I haven't read much of Copperhead's third arc - I kinda' took a break from comics around the time it started - but somehow I remember all of the characters in it. It's always been one of my favorite "what if" comics. What if it had a long run? What if it got some crossover exposure? I really think it's good, for fans of Saga and Firefly. I'll try to catch up next week.
