New Female Superhero series, Copycat, Brings Film and Comic Talent Together

Film and television producer, Todd Garner (The Possession of Hannah Grace(2018), Haunt(2019)) of Broken Road Productions is teaming up with writers, Heath Amodio(The Heathens, Foretold) and Cullen Bunn(Harrow County, Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe), to give us upcoming comic, Copycat. The concept was something Garner said he’d been “sitting on for a bit” because “after working on movies based on graphic novels like Hellboy, I’ve been intrigued by the possibility of creating a new comic book hero.” Copycat’s protagonist is Sarah, a talented ER nurse, with the unique gift of diagnosing her patients with just one touch. Unfortunately, her power comes with a painful price, as she experiences the same suffering as her patients. In her pursuit to save Emma, a woman with extraordinary abilities, Sarah inadvertently gains Emma’s enhanced strength. Determined to uncover the mystery of Emma’s murder, Sarah sets out on a perilous journey that brings her face to face with a band of hunters with super-human abilities.
