It is not a resistor, but not to say it's a good conductor. Although it lacks the metallic bonding that makes Cu such a good conductor, the sheets of graphite have hybridized sp2 orbitals, meaning there are long rows of p orbitals that can share electrons across the sheet, meaning it can conduct electricity. It has a resistivity of ~20uOhm meters, whereas as Cu has a resistivity of ~17nOhm meters.
