The Black Eye Club Pt. 2

By Sylvia Soska

Michael Copper makes stars. Then he makes them disappear. From Eric July, creator of Michael Copper, with writer Sylvia Soska--the music industry's darkest mythology, and a vampire walking in asking for a contract.

The flashback opens at a sunlit church. Michael Copper hears a teenage Abby Rhodes sing "Amazing Grace" and tells her she could be famous--and the rest of her life unfolds in a montage of cosmetic surgery, choreography, Saudi princes, and a mansion door that opens onto a part of the world no one knows exists. In the present, Michael's powers reveal The Countess, Adonis, and Red King as the supervillains they really are beneath their hero personas. Then Red King shows up at his label, drains a girl named Paris in front of his blondes, and asks Michael for a record deal. Michael, of course, says yes.

The Rippaverse's darkest book. A direct bridge into Michael Copper's collision with Lilian Ronashi--BEC Pt. 2 ends with Michael seeing Lilian on a Heathrow screen, plugging directly into The Cursed Pt. 2 (same week, 8/04/26).

From Eric July, creator of Michael Copper and founder of Rippaverse Publishing, with writer Sylvia Soska. Lead art by Geanes Holland (Brazil, S o Paulo) with secondary pages by Carlos Reno. Lead colors by Guilherme Lindemberg with secondary colorists Marcos Martins and Rohvel Yumul.
