This episode we welcome COPRA mastermind Michel Fiffe! His self-published comic quickly caught the indy-comics world on fire, capturing the minds of the Wednesday Warriors who mainline superhero comics, as well as the artcomix wonks, panel flow fiends and mark-making fetishists from the "other" side of the tracks. Bergen Street Comics stepped in to produce the collections and get the word out past the limited reach of the issues, and the rest is history. Michel's currently working in full on "COPRA Mode" on a 3 issue mini series for Rob Liefeld, detailing some lost history of one of his lesser known Extreme Studios creations, in BLOODSTRIKE: BRUTALISTS. We talk about that, the genesis of COPRA, his brief time writing for Marvel, some of his favorite creators, working process, comics theory, and much much more in this lively chat. Plus: Mike & Zack debate what makes a 'zine, and talk a little about ye olde internet harassment.

This week on Process Party, we talk to Profanity Hill impresario, Fantagraphics Editor, and cartoonist Jason T. Miles! Jason joined Zack a couple weeks ago to talk about Zanardi for our Best of 2017 episode, and they ended up having a long ramblin' conversation before they even got to talk about that book. So here we have their chat, which dives fairly deep into the inspirations and themes of his new series EIGHTY-SIX. Topics covered include Masculinity (Toxic or otherwise), Sobriety, COPRA, Marvel trading cards, Comic shops in the 80s & 90s, Zanadu Comics in Seattle in 2018, The Death of Superman, the art of tidying up, Self-loathing, raising the next generations, and the comics of the black and white glut.

Find out what our favorite books of the year were, and enjoy discussions with Sarah Horrocks, Austin English, Jason T Miles, Keren Katz, Sloane Leong, Eric Grissom, Ed Luce, Carta Monir, & Sammy Harkham as they detail their picks.
