Death of Copra #1: The End of an Indie Superhero Masterpiece

The End of an Era: Michel Fiffe's Underrated Superhero Epic, Copra, Rides Off Into the Sunset!

Death of Copra: The Final Chapter of an Indie Superhero Masterpiece

Get ready, comic fans! One of the most criminally underrated superhero series out there is ending! Michel Fiffe's Copra, a truly unique and awesome indie superhero epic, is coming to a close with the release of Death of Copra from Image Comics next year. This is huge, folks! This crazy series which ran for 45 issues (plus extras!) has garnered cult status, and fans are ready for this huge ending! The team itself; Lloyd, Guthie, Wir, Gracie, and Sonia Stone—these memorable characters have earned an epic ending. It is very clear from the trailer alone; many reviewers are quite surprised at what had just been revealed. This really puts a big question in many viewers heads: Can Michel Fiffe finish it up nicely? And make a truly memorable finale?

Written and illustrated by Michel Fiffe, Copra exploded onto the indie scene way back in 2012. The inspiration is obvious, the style and approaches; the energy from DC’s 1980s Suicide Squad shines brightly here! Yet, this ain’t fan fiction. This series totally subverts typical superhero tropes – reimagining those key elements with a very raw, honest, indie sensibility! That’s only emphasized even further through Fiffe’s distinctive art style – this masterful blend of art creates stunning, vibrant visuals which is another big reason people will be extremely disappointed by its discontinuation! Many reviewers actually rate this extremely high, yet those ratings haven’t translated to general public knowledge and awareness, greatly underscoring just how badly this title has been treated and why its closure would impact that overall fanbase deeply.

Death of Copra: Release Date, Variant Covers, and Crossovers!

Mark your calendars! Death of Copra #1 launches January 8th, 2024! Get those wallets ready, because Fiffe’s bringing a ton of awesome variant covers to this final installment. He personally made three amazing versions. There’s one by the hugely acclaimed Jeff Lemire, whose Black Hammer is strangely and surprisingly very similar to Copra. Plus there’s even a special Image crossover piece with Rob Liefeld's Bloodstrike (which Fiffe already worked on in Bloodstrike: The Brutalists). There's also going to be lots of added crossover events involved. This suggests those earlier fans will really get a reason to finally pick these things up after a significant length of time!

Whether you’ve been a fan since the beginning or only hear about Copra's impressive achievements at its conclusion, this event showcases the tremendous potential for crossovers. Fiffe’s ability to bring in the efforts of many others; especially the collaboration efforts from those other high-profile names who contribute to various covers is remarkable, highlighting Fiffe's long-standing standing within the comic industry!

Big corporate superheroes like Superman and Captain America get killed all the time, and they're always brought back! But Copra? That ain’t happening. It’s creator-owned, meaning Michel Fiffe's call; This is likely what most fans who might consider this title extremely underrated would prefer; as these creators are always the ultimate deciders on exactly how things would turn out for their work. So expect an epic, truly definitive ending—a thing you can’t necessarily find that easily in other superhero releases! These elements become hugely important as we now prepare for its impending final issue.
