The Four Color Media Monitor

Comic Book Club Live posted previews of Ahoy Comics' "Thanksgiving" by leftist Mark Russell, and there's some hints of political motivations in this item, not to mention it makes the whole holiday look ugly. The advertising blurb reads like this:

An intense, timely one-shot from Mark Russell (X-Factor, SECOND COMING) and Mauricet (HOWL). Thanksgiving—a day when American families come together, until the strain inevitably tears them apart. But for one family, the cruel and deadly secret of the Turkeyneck Killer binds them together in the saddest, most shameful way possible.

Because we just have to be lectured that sadness is better than happiness, right? This looks worse than a cartoon produced in the past decade or so titled "Free Birds", which was a subtle attack on the Thanksgiving holiday. In this comic, which has disturbing illustrations of pilgrims raising knives while hunting turkeys, it also features the following: A grandma who writes racist posts on social media? Well it's clear this is not something meant to celebrate happiness, and that's virtually the problem here. We keep getting lectured propaganda like that the USA was built solely upon racism, that the country is "systemically racist", and cannot be changed in any way, and plenty of other ghastly forms of exaggerated drivel that don't provide a clear answer whether anything can be improved at all.

And this is the sad state even independent comics have been reduced to. It may be a good thing if leftists like Russell are no longer working for majors, but without a doubt, even these comics from small publishers can have a bad influence, and that's why there is valid reason to worry they will end up giving off all the wrong vibes in some way or other.
