23-07-23 | A week from now CEX Publishing will be unleashing some incredible zombie mayhem which is not to be missed. Jeff McComsey’s Mother Russia was initially published by Alterna Comics, never reaching its full potential. Hopefully this rerelease will introduce McComsey’s gritty black & white fever dream to a wider audience. After all, what’s not to love about zombie gut munchers roaming the Soviet Union? Bravo to CEX for daring to publish this title in the current political climate!
‘Mother Russia is a gripping and thrilling series set during the height of World War II. The story follows a Soviet sniper who finds herself battling not just Nazi forces but also hordes of flesh-eating zombies. Amidst the chaos and danger, she takes on the responsibility of protecting an innocent child, raising questions about whether she is ready for the challenges of motherhood in a war-torn environment.’
Mother Russia has a long and troubled history. Early chapters were published way back in 2009, with Jeff McComsey picking up the threads in 2020. One is tempted to describe the series as The Last of Us set in the Soviet Union, but it’s far more than that. Is has to be, considering this plucky little title’s ability to keep resurfacing against all odds. Mother Russia is the perfect blend of mindless action and meaningful thought provoking storytelling.
