In addition, Michel is known fiffepreviewfor his critically acclaimed “Zegas” comic series and new monthly “COPRA” superhero comic.

Fiffe’s self-released “COPRA” comic has drawn a fair amount of buzz in the industry with multiple feature articles in Comic Book Resources, Comics Alliance, and Bleeding Cool; as well as rave reviews among the comics community in general. Equally impressive is the fact that Fiffe is a one-man army that writes, draws, colors, letters, and distributes the comic.

sam haze news small final versionErik Larsen recently posted the cover to Savage Dragon #188 on his Facebook page. Larsen commented:

“Savage Dragon #188–another retro cover–not sure yet if I’ll beat it up like some previous retro covers.”

The logo used is in the same font as the golden-age Silver Streak comics and features the Claw, Daredevil, and Malcolm Dragon.

UPDATED: Erik posted a second version that gives the appearance of beat-up and aged golden-age comic. See below.

New Updates for the Supreme Comic!

Cory Hamscher recently announced on his Facebook account  that he wrapped up his stint on Supreme:

“Avengers Academy is wrapped. Supreme is wrapped. Con season is over.”

Corey also added the following image, presumably from Supreme #67:

Additionally, Erik Larsen posted the following on his Facebook account today, November 8th:

“After much consideration and a loss of forward momentum I’ve decided to keep Supreme 68 as a normal-sized issue after all. I’m flying solo. I’m writing, pencilling and inking Supreme 68. Chris Eliopoulos is lettering and it’s Steve Oliff on colors, as usual. This is my swan song.”

So in conlusion, it looks like Corey has wrapped up the art on Supreme #67 and Erik will be finishing up his run on the series with complete art chores on a normal-sized Supreme #68.
