Reviews

[Rick Ray · Rating 4 out of 5]

The final issue of the third round of Copra closes with a story centered on Xenia, who engages in magical combat with an opponent that makes for a highly experimental bit of comic art. This is one of Fiffe's most creatively laid out issues yet, with Xenia going toe to toe with her former mentor in what can only be described as a lurid acid trip. This was compelling from a narrative perspective, but a visual treat as well.
