Counterfeit Girl is a strip by Peter Milligan, Rufus Dayglo and Dom Regan, lettered by Ellie De Ville. It started in 2000 AD prog 2000 (published September 2016) and concluded in prog 2010 (published December 2016), but didn't appear in prog 2009 (published November 2016).

She also has a personal reason for disliking Albion — at least, she thinks she has. But everything she thought she knew is about to be turned inside out...
