"Minceville, USA" The world is not what it seems anymore – carnage and chaos, tension and treachery, a landscape literally warped beyond comprehension. Is this the paradise that the super elite channeled from beyond? COPRA is the only thing standing between angry gods and the nightmare fuel they want to douse us in.
Michel Fiffe is the creator of the action series COPRA, published by Bergen Street Press, and the intimately surreal Zegas, collected by Fantagraphics. He's worked with Marvel, Valiant, and BOOM! and continues to serialize COPRA when he's not writing massive essays on comics of note. Fiffe has produced Bloodstrike: Brutalists (Image Comics) and G.I. Joe: Sierra Muerte (IDW) in their entirety and has recently launched a new title, Negativeland.
Guthie, a runaway from the alternate dimension Ochizon, is hunted down by her brother Fornax. The Ochizon take over a small town where they plan to carry out a cosmic ritual of sorts, and only COPRA can intervene. The team of Wir, Gracie, Chango and Rax are deployed to take down Fornax.
A decent setup issue that explores the stakes, though a little light on the action. Overall fun kick-off to an arc.
