  Copperhead has always been a compelling character in concept, but Porter and Fajardo Jr. really showcase why he warrants a bigger spotlight. This was easily one of the strongest Silent Mission stories made even better because it didn’t feature an A-list character. Read Full Review

Howard Porter’s art skillfully blends emotion with action, and his art delivery is pure, adrenaline-fueled eye candy. Read Full Review

  For all his potential personality, Copperhead is just another supporting character around the margins of the action for the terrorist organization known as Cobra. It’s kind of interesting to see what a single member of Cobra might be doing when not specifically on a mission for the organization. It’s fun. It would be interesting to see some sort of a serial that focussed on the average nameless Cobra soldier. There had been some focus on Storm Troopers in the Star Wars universe, but they work for a huge empire, so there isn’t as much that could be done with them around the margins of their daily life. Cobra is a terrorist organization...so theoretically the average soldier has free time outside of the mask. It would be interesting to explore the lives of more background characters like Copperhead.
