Michel FiffeMy comic book work includes Fut Miso and Panorama. Also thrown in there are a few collaborations as well as some early works. Zegas, my main comic book project, has its own category.
Today marks the 25th anniversary of Bloodstrike #1! As I’m revving up for the June release of my mini-series, Bloodstrike: Brutalists, I wanted to celebrate my favorite undead government squad by taking a deep dive into their publishing history. Along the way, I’ll add commentary on the aspects that helped inform Brutalists and what I love about this specific Rob Liefeld-created roster. It’s a lot to cover, so let’s get into it!
Print this out and take it to your Local Comics Shop to ensure you get your summer copies of Bloodstrike: Brutalists!
BLOODSTRIKE : BRUTALISTS is hitting comic shops worldwide early June, from Image Comics!

Two stories for the price of one! Our lead story features the reunited Copra members making a hasty “escape” from Compota Kingdom.
The back end showcases Team X trying to ambush a target with dangerously mixed results, as these few preview pages promise…
