Mother Russia

Jeff McComsey writes and draws this Alterna series, which launched in 2017 and ran for three issues. Mother Russia offers a grim, post-apocalyptic vision of a world devastated by a second Russian Civil War, following survivors as they navigate a brutal, radioactive landscape. McComsey’s stark, gritty artwork and unflinching storytelling give the series a raw, documentary-like feel that sets it apart from more fantastical takes on the genre. It’s a compact, intense look at survival and the human cost of ideological collapse.
