Thanksgiving #1

There were very few Thanksgiving themed comics on the market this year. Who am I kidding? I think there was only 2. 3, tops! But I really looked forward to this one. And look forward to it I did; because it took forever for my favorite comic shop to precure a copy. I had almost given up hope, figuring I would have to wait until Thanksgiving, 2026. But at the last minute- holiday miracle!

Thanksgiving is set in a snowy small town on Thanksgiving night. The burg is living in fear as a Turkey Day serial killer has struck again and the police are stymied. For the Grandt family, this Thanksgiving is a chance to rekindle relationships, enjoy some delicious grub and share family secrets. 

Mark Russell penned a thrilling Thanksgiving murder mystery. I'm almost sorry that it was a one-shot. But with it's twist ending that borderlines on the surreal, the ending was warranted. Though with all great horror mysteries, there's always room for a sequel or mo
st definitely in this case, a prequel!

I figured out the killer pretty quick. But the motive was a surprise. So was the revelation of several mysteries; especially the one surrounding the narrator's mother. Besides, it doesn't upset me if I solve the mystery. It makes me feel smart. But it's all a shocking good story that fans of serial killer horror, true crime and holiday comics that are more than just cheery and bright will enjoy!

Worth Consuming!
