COPRA (pronounced KOH-pruh) is a fictional antihero team created by writer-artist Michel Fiffe that appears in the American comic book series of the same name, published by COPRA Press. The group made its first appearance in COPRA #1 (November 2012).

COPRA is a team of incarcerated supervillains who carry out secret missions in exchange for reduced prison sentences. The team is based out of Washington, DC. and is under the directorship of Sonia Stone. a band of anti-heroes and general misfits doing government dirty work. EXAMPLES OF THINGS THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED.

Development

Michel Fiffe was inspired to create COPRA in response to the enthusiastic reception to his Suicide Squad fan comic Deathzone! Deathzone! itself was a 16-page exercise Fiffe did as a creative break from his first self-published project Zegas. Fiffe created Deathzone! as an experiment to help him loosen up and not be so precious about his work. With COPRA, Fiffe's goal was to break the "Kirby barrier" by producing comics quickly and without hesitation.

Fiffe's initial goal with COPRA was to produce a 24-page, ad-free comic every month for a year to complete a 12-issue arc. Once he had successfully met his goal in November of 2013, Fiffe took a brief hiatus and then returned to COPRA with plans to complete a 50-issue arc.

COPRA #25 was a unique double-size issue that marked Fiffe's third anniversary producing COPRA. It is the only issue that showcases the work of other artists. In addition to the 32-page feature by Michel Fiffe, there is a story by Tim Hamilton, a short story by Benjamin Marra, and pin-up art by Chuck Forsman, Kat Roberts, Jeffrey Brown, Sloane Leong, Paul Maybury, and Matthew Allison. According to Fiffe, Hamilton and Marra’s stories are non-canon and are therefore not officially parts of the COPRA storyline.

Homage and analogues

Michel Fiffe created COPRA as an homage to the 1980s incarnation of DC Comics' Suicide Squad created by John Ostrander, Kim Yale, and Luke McDonnell. The story shares a narrative premise: COPRA is a super-powered mercenary squad used for black-ops missions, some of which could be designated “suicidal.”

The team is lead by a steely woman remniscent of Amanda Waller (Sonia Stone). It features analogues of many Suicide Squad members, including Deadshot (Lloyd), Captain Boomerang (Boomer), and Shade the Changing Man (Rax). But it also includes characters that are remniscent of Marvel Comics' Dr. Strange (Vincent), Clea (Xenia), and the Punisher (Castillo).

Inspired by the comics that moved him as a kid for COPRA adversaries can be found in Marvel Comics’ Reavers (A.R.M.) and Marauders (Asesinos), as well as DC Comics' New Gods (Ochizon) and Extremists (Ages of Ochizon). X-men adversaries (Danny Cellabos, Cres), old Daredevil adversaries (Vitas Crew), Batman adversary (Beast).

The “Personal Files” story featured in COPRA #7 mirrors the story of the same name featured in Suicide Squad #8 (1987).

“Why couldn't I create my own squad…” — MF

Speaking with Paste Magazine, Fiffe said, "It's weird because I'm channelling these preexisting voices in order to reach something new, something personal even. It's an odd dichotomy because I do want to honor those things I love, but I also want to break away from that."

…his work on COPRA occupies the middle space between professional cape comics and alt-zine enthusiast. His work throbs with the love of a fan who’s pulled characters from the margins of old high school notebooks and shines with the execution of a seasoned talent.

There are minor differences to the proceedings: COPRA stars a loosely-knotted squad of mercenaries, not dragooned criminals, and the gruff team leader is Sonia Stone, not Amanda Waller. Part of the fun of reading Copra is in recognizing the characters that Fiffe is referencing and seeing how he molds into different shapes. The analogue for Dr. Strange’s acolyte/girlfriend Clea is sassier and tougher than the original and the Count Vertigo-alike isn’t as depressed as the one in DC Comics. — Even Narcisse, i09

A universe without heroes

The COPRA universe does not have superheroes. There are no good stock characters, helping the world become a better place, who are dedicated to protecting the public, and stopping evil. There are no heroes use their powers and abilities to help fight daily crime while also combating threats against humanity from supervillains.

For one thing, COPRA being divorced from its traditional superhero roots gives Fiffe room to go a lot darker. I don’t just mean in terms of depicting blood, violence and the occasional swear word. As other critics have noted, the Copra universe is one devoid of the uber moral good that a Superman or Captain America might represent. As critic Abhay Khosla put it:

COPRA is a comic that the Suicide Squad, by virtue of existing in the DC Universe can never be because it is a comic fundamentally suspicious of, derisive of, dismissive of the underlying message of superhero comics: that power can be used responsibly, that our world has space for heroes, that violence can solve problems.

In other words, there are no sunshiney “good triumphs over evil” antics here. Batman isn’t going to pop in to tut-tut everyone’s behavior. Fiffe’s characters are often mean, desperate (but not unlikeable) types who are haunted by vengeance, tragedy, or just plain bad choices. Throughout the series they struggle to come to terms with their demons while remaining alive. COPRA’s cast might have superpowers, but they don’t act much like superheroes. — Chris Mautner

Dead means dead

Comic book death

Not one character in the COPRA universe has ever returned from the dead.

Fictional history

Content needs to be set historical present tense: The problem with in-universe perspective

According to Director Sonia Stone, COPRA was intended to be a side project, a thing that was built to last only a year, maybe two. There are no black ops, no trained forces, no military support, and no government sanction — at least not on paper.

COPRA is a squad of misfits, a revolving door of combatants with unique skills that does under-the-table work for the US Government. And everyone is expendable.

Stone dispatches the appropriate manpower to execute irregular objectives all across the globe. COPRA works missions best left unmarked, tasks that can't eat into the national budget yet still require a fierce taskforce.

COPRA operates as a subdivision of a subdivision, a government leg best left unearthed. We operate by the skin of our teeth and with an unspoken agreement of confidentiality.

Round One

Needs a more objective summary of events.

They're ugly. They're mean. But up until today, they've always been loyal. So when one of their own betrays them, the men and women of COPRA have no choice but to turn their nightmarish skills back on every son of a bitch who ever looked at them funny.

“Raging Wrath”

(narrated by Sonia) A simple retrieval mission in Latin America turned into an ambushed bloodbath led by a disgruntled ex-COPRA member, Vitas. Powered by a mysterious chunk of debris, he obliterated another member’s hometown.
DT 31830 : TDT 31830

“Kiss the Ring on My Fist”

(narrated by Sonia) With the crew on the run, framed for genocide, COPRA leader Sonia Stone enlisted her old pal Vincent. He traffics in the occult, which helped in tracing the stolen debris/shrapnel.
DT 5 : TDT 31835

“Soft Solution”

(narrated by Rax and Sonia) Fugitive COPRA expanded their ranks, looping in other ex-members such as their retired trainer-turned-bounty-hunter, Castillo. Being cybernetically enhanced is a big plus.
DT 0 : TDT 31835

“A Sight for Sore Eyes”

(no narrator) Castillo offered temporary refuge, but not before his mercenary roommates got hip to the price on the COPRA crew’s heads.
DT 0 : TDT 31835

“King Egg”

(narrated by Man-Head) The team followed a lead into Tokyo, hoping to find Vitas and smooth things out.
DT 1 : TDT 31836

“Collapse Towards Light”

(narrated by Man-Head) Vitas was found. Nothing was smoothed out.
DT 4 : TDT 31840

Round Two

Needs a more objective summary of events.

Genocide ain't a pretty thing to see. But there's no time to mourn when your face is at the edge of the gun. Scared, desperate, and alone, COPRA's gonna clear their name in a brutal reckoning with the forces that screwed them over and sold them out.

After the battle royale in Japan, COPRA returned to the U.S. to recover and reconvene.

“Personal Files”

(narrated by Sonia) The next stage included trading armed services with a newly enlisted & estranged Rax, who came from another dimension.
TD 0 : TDT 31840

“Otros Mundos”

(narrated by Rax) Off they went to Rax’s homeworld to liberate the citizens from the local terror; the gelatinous crime emperess Dy Dy.
TD 2 : TDT 31842

“Pink Frost”

(narrated by Rax) COPRA was met with resistance, natch. They even met Rax’s ex-girlfriend Bups (a law enforcement officer) and her compromised mom.
TD 1 : TDT 31843

“Best Before”

(narrated by Lloyd) Back on Earth, Lloyd and Boomer dove deep into investigating the betrayal of COPRA. Turns out it wass Sonia’s brown-nosing peer Ceballos. Their main boss, Olivers, was too busy to care…
TD 0 : TDT 31843

“The Shape of Divison”

(no narrator) …as he was trying to orchestrate the “Ochizon” apocalypse via an insurgent séance. He engineered his own instruments of death A.K.A. the Ages of Ochizon.
TD 0 : TDT 31843

“Locus Solus”

(narrated by Sonia) Our favorite unorthodox government agency muscled their way to victory and, more importantly, got their jobs back.
TD 5 : TDT 31848

Round Three

Needs a more objective summary of events.

Old friends and older habits, cell blocks and beaches. Grandma's homemade recipes and a cartel slaughterhouse. This is what the men and women of COPRA call downtime. Their habit is vengeance, and they couldn't stop if they wanted to.

All the while, the freelancer bounty hunter named Jaquio bumped into an organization he would need help dealing with: D.I.P.P.L.E.

“Lloyd”

(narrated by Lloyd) As for COPRA, they all went their separate ways after their ad hoc reunion. Lloyd’s revenge-soaked death wish was reignited, leading him to square off with a Russian gang.
TD 13 : TDT 31861

“Wir”

(no narrator) Patrick A.K.A. Wir spent some quality time with family and friends at home.
TD 1 : TDT 31862

(narrated by Gracie) Same with Gracie, except it included a drug bust in Miami and a habit to kick.
TD 5 : TDT 31867

“Guthie”

(no narrator) Guthie’s brothers caught up with her, urging our girl to return home. She refused, having escaped her “Ochizon Family” with good reason (yup, turns out she’s related). She wanted nothing to do with their tradition.
TD 0 : TDT 31867

“Rax”

(narrated by Rax) Rax got himself arrested, and being an ex-cop didn’t help him inside. At least he kept in shape right up to the point of getting tossed into the “Anti-zone.”
TD 0 : TDT 31867

“Xenia”

(narrated by Xenia) Xenia’s newfound powers slowly drove her to the brink of insanity, dominating her possessed mentor (however, she might’ve done that under regular conditions).
TD 0 : TDT 31867

Round Four

Needs a more objective summary of events.

The return of the world's favorite revenge team is marked by back-to-back brutality and psychedelic suspense, fallen comrades and desperate dissidents. Our team gets served out the same penalties they've dished out in the wake of a prison break, an unstoppable assassin, and a seminal showdown between COPRA members. Keep up and stay focused as COPRA's international kill list gets checked off at the peak of their mondo bizarro bloodlust.

Remember Rax’s ex-girlfriend Bups? She, too, got tossed into the “Anti-zone,” a limbo that links their dimension to ours. Good thing, since Ochizon eventually came looking for their offspring (Guthie) — it was not a good scene.

“Classic COPRA” vanished with Xenia: Lloyd, Guthie, and Wir. “Team X” was composed of the backups and newbies: Boomer, Jaquio, Ice, Changó, and Thana

(no narrator) Things only got looser.
TD 0 : TDT 31881

“Skeleton Crew”

(no narrator) Meanwhile, COPRA’s mission control manager, Flo, tried to fix a gig gone sideways…
TD 3 : TDT 31884

“The Beast in Us”

(narrated by Flo)…thanks to the Russian gang seeking retribution for Lloyd’s sins. They sent and agent, “Beast,” to carry out the task.
TD 2 : TDT 31886

“Stone House”

(narrated by Flo) With home base infiltrated and a splintered group gone AWOL, Sonia scraped together a Team X to salvage whatever was left.
TD 2 + Am Rhein : TDT 31888 + Am Rhein

Round Five

Needs a more objective summary of events.

(no narrator) How do you measure loyalty in a treacherous world? In COPRA Round Five, the latest collection of Michel Fiffe's wildly popular self-published super-hero action masterpiece, the answer is found at the end of a fist, the blade of a sword, and the mouth of a gun. Crush or be crushed. The place is anywhere. The time is now.

Castillo, having been reinstated into COPRA as an in-house consultant, had his own vendetta to nurture (unrelated to Sonia’s enterprise, of course).

“Vogellius Vortex”

(no narrator) The COPRA members stranded in the “Anti-zone” linked up with an amnesic Dy Dy, course-corrected their journey back to Earth…

“Consider Yourselves Doomed”

(no narrator) …but made a pit stop to retrieve the missing component for their return home.(First time we met the “Negativeland” cast.)

“Proposed Strategy with Dignity”

(no narrator) Big homecoming, just in time to help Count Compota reclaim his throne overseas.

“Your Mouth Is a Graveyard of Embarrassments”

(no narrator) As the regrouped “classic” team headed back to the States, “Team X” upheld the brand…

“The Great Biscayne Concern”

(no narrator) …until they’re ordered to head the returning champs off at the pass. None of them liked one another to begin with, so things got somewhat heated in Miami.

“Deli Inc.”

(narrated by Castillo) While all that went down in South Florida, Castillo was called in for a desperate last minute rescue ,ission. That led him directly into the current mayhem.

Round Six

End of Complications

(no narrator) COPRA returns in the first issue of its all-new ongoing series! Acclaimed comics auteur Michel Fiffe picks up where his band of mercenary misfits left off, reintroducing the entire cast of his Suicide Squad-esque revenge machine in a brutal standoff against their own leader. Jump right into the thick of it with the world’s greatest action team in this extra-length debut milestone!

Escape from A.R.M.

(no narrator) The COPRA epic continues! With one half of the crew stranded beyond reach and the other half trying to survive the nightmare trap they woke up in, who’s gonna welcome our new cast member? First appearance, check. Best jumping-on point ever, check. Rising body count depicted with tender love and care, check check check.

Ticking Teeth

(no narrator) In this final showdown between COPRA and their cybernetic opponents, it’s out with the old, fallen comrades, and in with the new recruit. Will our team’s past nightmares come back to haunt them? And why does a desperate government cult care? You would, too, if your séance sparked an apocalypse.

“Explain the Explain”

(no narrator) As the COPRA leader negotiates her life with a disgruntled agent, the team itself maps out their most important mission to date: save the planet from total annihilation. Plus: a major secret origin revealed. This hand-colored calm before the storm has been building since the very first issue!

“Heads of Ochizon, Annihilate”

“The Ochizon Saga” is upon us! A showdown that has been forever hanging over our crew is finally here. Included in this double-length issue, the world of COPRA expands with the bonus, out-of-print rarity “Negativeland,” presented here in full!

Background stories

Needs a more objective summary of events. COPRA #25 and COPRA Versus. COPRA is a team of mercenary weirdos who have amassed a long string of enemies. Versus adjusts our focus on some of their key villains.

“Special Secret Stage”

(narrated by Vitas) COPRA is an off-the-grid team of misfit mercenaries sent on missions too dirty or low-grade to be on the books. This time we take a look at one of their earliest, most pivotal cases.

“Agents”

True love. Fashion forward fascism. Double agent--love/murder. Science via crime via COPRA. Origin story: Dy Dy.

“New Network”

° we are programmed to do ° anything you want us to ° we are the robots ° Background story: A.R.M.

“Tabula Raza”

The baby steps of a Latin American death squad is something touching to behold. You'll bite your lip with pride as Los Asesinos flex their grimy muscles of doom!

“The Long Conduct”

This origin story features a political cabal cherry-picking the world's greatest villains for their own mysterious machinations. It's a multifaceted barn burner! Origin story: Ages of Ochizon

“Dot Management”

The awkward, gut-churning tension of a pregame bloodbath finally gets its time to shine. Thrill to the unforgettable night before the very first issue of COPRA! Origin story: Vitas Crew

Concepts

Am Rhein

Am Rhein was a city located in a parallel dimension. HIgher technology than our own. Conglomeration of different species of humanoids. Where Weapon 🜉 is developed. High Republic, ethnic purge. Use of the Anti-Zone. Commit all prisoners to the Anti-Zone.

Surviving Am Rheiners

• Rax
• Bianca Slayton
• Dy Dy (+Gary)

The Anti-zone

The Anti-zone, an analogue of the Dark Dimension, is a vast dimensional pocket turned wasteland discovered by Am Rhein scientists. Originally used as a landfill with a mind of its own. Before its destruction Am Rhein passed a resolution to banish prisoners to the Anti-zone.

“I have to keep moving or else I start feeling the grip of despair, bits of confusion, vision blurry, thoughts scrambled, nervousness takes form. The more I linger, the more I lose sight of my own mission.”

“The pressure of dimensionsal frequency”

Mindless landfill. Bodies and garbage from the other dimension (Am Rhein). They get twisted up and absorbed into the morass. Time passes differently in the Anti-zone. Months on Earth are only days in the zone. Vincent was possessed by a discorporate entity while in the zone. He could comand the zone and its contents. Create mindless ones.

Crushing, maddening — focus, think positive thoughts. Rax’s vest could shield and protect others from the maddness. Vincent describes the zone as a "volgallius vortex" that connects Am Rhein to another civilization.

The Ochizon

Project Ochizon covers the Cult of Ochizon, Olivers, Project: Ochizon, Ages of Ochizon, and Vitas.

Weapon 🜉

Weapon 🜉 is the defining accomplishment (greatest achievement) of Hartman, a scientist from Am Rhein. When the government stopped funding the project, Hartman accepted the patronage of local crime lord Dy Dy. Weapon 🜉 was initially a helmet, designed to lock onto the wearer's mind and cross harness personal ability with enhanced power. It was developed as a form of mental steroid for the military. The helmet warped and fried the test subjects' brains. Dy Dy tosses the helmet into the Anti-zone. A amateur occultist from Earth opened a rift between worlds. The vest that Rax wears is the updated, safer version of the original Weapon 🜉. Vest was designed to be sensitive to its wearer's psyche. His to command. Little stubborn sometimes.

Reception

COPRA is a comic that the Suicide Squad, by virtue of existing in the DC Universe can never be because it is a comic fundamentally suspicious of, derisive of, dismissive of the underlying message of superhero comics: that power can be used responsibly, that our world has space for heroes, that violence can solve problems. — Abhay Khosla, The Savage Critics

It would be very easy to hang a label along the lines of "Like Suicide Squad, but not as good" on what Fiffe's doing. And yet, with this first issue, the sheer amount of talent that he's bringing to the table lets him sidestep that initial negative comparison. It's not that he's as good in one issue as Ostrander & Co. are in sixty, but it's solid enough that he manages to reach the status of "following in the footsteps" rather than just “a pale imitation.” — Chris Sims, Comics Alliance

Fiffe does more than just replicate the vibe of comics he grew up on, though he updates the aesthetic of a singular point of time and fuses it to a personal approach that comes across as more experimental…and shines with the execution of a seasoned talent. — Evan Narcisse, io9

What separates COPRA from the league of analogous analogues is Fiffe knows adaptation isn't imitation. Like Homer and Euripides (or Miller and Moore), Fiffe takes what he likes from a story or particular versions of a story and grafts those details onto his own ideas and experiences to create a new narrative, something unique and all his own. — Keith Sliva, Comics Bulletin

Fiffe creates analogs for many of the Suicide Squad characters (Shade, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, Amanda Waller) but also includes analogs of Dr. Strange, Clea, and the Punisher. These characters are not copies though, and the familiarity (sometime visual, sometimes not) helps strengthen the text rather than detract from it. — Anthony Falcone, Comic Book Daily

COPRA exists in this idea of authenticity and unoriginality. Fiffe wears his influences on his sleeve, and makes no effort to hide where his characters are taken from. It's a series that could've easily collapsed under it's own weight, bruising your sides as it nudges you while asking if you get the reference. But it doesn't. Instead, Fiffe transforms these characters into something that transcends their original form. — Chriss Neill, CBR
