COPRA is a fascinating indie superhero book. It reminds me a lot of Secret Six, but with a lot of the absurdity of Scud the Disposable Assassin. Fife does a great job experimenting with odd artistic tricks to help with the storytelling. Some of the things he does works better than others, but the end effect is interesting and a lot of fun. The story is interesting enough, but nothing you haven't seen in late-80s superhero books; and a little nostalgic at that. The craftsmanship of the book itself bears mentioning as well with the hand lettering, the coloring that looks like a lot of it was done with colored pencils and the heavy weight of the paper used for printing the book. Everything comes together in this production very nicely.
