In this episode of The Comic Source, Jace welcomes back fan-favorite writer Mark Russell to discuss his new Ahoy Comics one-shot, Thanksgiving. Known for weaving biting social commentary into relatable everyday scenarios, Russell explores the uneasy dynamics of family gatherings and how shared traditions can expose deep divides beneath the surface. The pair delve into the book’s darkly humorous premise—a seemingly ordinary holiday dinner that spirals into moral chaos when one family member is revealed to be a killer—while unpacking the story’s sharp reflections on modern America, empathy, and apathy. Jace and Mark also touch on Russell’s collaboration with artist Alain Mauricet, whose grounded visuals and warm tones heighten both the satire and humanity of the tale. Before wrapping up, Mark teases his upcoming projects at Mad Cave Studios, including Racer X, Vanishing Point, and TerrorBytes, offering more of the thought-provoking storytelling that has made him one of comics’ most distinctive voices.
