As soon as I heard that Samuel L. Jackson wrote a comic book, I knew that I had to have it immediately. Luckily Amazon had it in stock and two days later I eagerly opened a package that contained Cold Space. As soon as it was clear of the wrapping I dived right into it and got an immediate chuckle from Sam's opening message on the first page and my excitement grew just that much bigger. About an hour later I finished reading and though I liked the book, I found myself a little let down. It really is entirely my fault, I hyped up Cold Space in my head because I'm a huge fan of Samuel L. Jackson, which I should have known was not the best thing to do. Anyway, to sum this book up in one sentence, if you have seen the film A Fistful of Dollars (which you should) then you have essentially read this book, except the movie takes place in an Old West town and Cold Space takes place in an Old West planet.
Sam Jackson arrives on this planet to find two rival gangs on the brink of an all out war and sees it as an opportunity to make some money so as to get off planet. He cozies up to the bosses of either gangs, offering his skills as an all-around badass, for a stack of cash of course. Naturally, both gangs go to war and find out only too late that they've been played. Unlike in the film a Fistful of Dollars, where Clint Eastwood receives quite the beating, barely a bunch is landed on our heroes face, because not just anybody can hit Sam Jackson you know. It's really a standard story, hero mixes things up, violence ensues, hero escapes into the sunset with a smug smile on his face after kicking a lot of ass. Cold Space is an alright book for a relatively low price, so if you're a fan of Sam Jackson like I am, it is definitely worth your money.

Now before brzker there was Cold Space. Now I believe the art and story are solid. Even if it does to some at times feel like film or screenplay for movie that never got made.

Note: review originally posted on Goodreads
A man on the run from the law finds an oasis of unlawfulness, where bad guys rule and badder guys are coming after them.
Note: I've never included graphic novels in my reviews before. I saw some in some year-end roundups and thought I'd include the few that I manager to check out from the library.
Overall, I'll say Samuel L. Jackson's intro to this work was way more entertaining than the actual work itself. There were several cool fights, but nothing really gripping. For me, I really had no one to root for. I don't care about any of the characters, and I have zero desire to learn any more about them were there to be another volume some day. Even the so-called good guys were really bad guys, just bullies with a badge.
The art was okay. Some of the word balloons in the beginning were difficult to read. Red and black are cool design elements but unfortunately make an extremely uncool reading combination, especially joined with smaller print (had to break out the readers).
The story itself was lacking, though. Rival gangs, being chased by the police, and betrayals, all known types of elements. This has been done before, which is fine, but there's nothing here that makes anything really stand out other than being associated with Samuel L. Jackson. That's the only real positive I can give. And I didn't have to pay for it. A disappointing two stars.

From Goodreads:
From Academy Award-nominee Samuel L. Jackson and Eric Calderon, the team that brought you the Emmy-award-winning, best-selling AFRO SAMURAI comes their next original series-COLD SPACE. When an on-the-run outlaw crash-lands on a hostile planet on the brink of civil war, he finds himself in the crossfire between two warring factions. But in chaos lies opportunity-because where there's money to be made. A hard-boiled sci-fi action-adventure with covers by Eisner Award-winning artist Dave Johnson and IRREDEEMABLE cover artist Jeffrey Spokes!
Not a terrible read, but it’s kinda clunky and has some plot holes. I like Mulberry though. He’s a badazz. But Dee? What’s with the hooker gear? Pu-leaze! Now, let’s talk artwork. Excellent drawings and the dark colors fit the theme, but some of it is very hard to read. Talking bubbles are ok since they’re white with black lettering. But any kind of narration or “in the head” type of stuff had dark lettering and dark background. Not good. Next to impossible to read unless in bright light and thus it irritated the flock outta me. All-in-all it could have been much better, but it’s a fast read, so give it a whirl.

Cold space is just a graphic novel written to reiterate the fact that Samuel Jackson is cool. The story is nothing special and every frame just exists to re-establish the fact that Samuel Jackson is an alpha male. The artwork is definitely top notch. Would have been better had they focussed on story too.
