Volume I of Second Coming was published in March 2020, featuring an Introduction by Patton Oswalt. Originally slated to be published by DC/Vertigo, the comic was dropped by the label due to the religious and controversial subject matter, only to be later picked up and published by Ahoy. 2019 also saw the publication of Russell's comic Second Coming by Ahoy Comics. February 2019 saw the publication of Russell's The Wonder Twins with artist Stephen Byrne as part of DC's new Wonder Comics line, curated by Brian Michael Bendis, which was nominated for a 2020 Ringo award for Best Humor Comic. The series was also nominated for the Eisner Award for Best Limited Series and Russell was nominated for the Eisner Award for Best Writer. Exit Stage Left!: The Snagglepuss Chronicles won the 2019 GLAAD Award for Outstanding Comic. In 2018, DC Comics published Russell's comic Exit, Stage Left!: The Snagglepuss Chronicles, which reinvented the titular Hanna Barbera character as a gay southern gothic playwright living in 1950s New York.

The Flintstones was nominated for two Eisner Awards, including Best Limited Series and Best Humor Publication, as well as being nominated for a Harvey Award for Book of the Year. Following Prez, Russell was hired to write The Flintstones comic book series for DC Comics, drawn by Steve Pugh. In 2015, Russell made his debut in comics with his critically acclaimed reboot of the 1973–74 comic Prez (Issues 1–6, DC Comics), drawn by Ben Caldwell, in which a teenager is elected and serves as President of the United States. Russell is the author of God Is Disappointed in You (Top Shelf Productions, 2013), a modern re-telling of the Bible (with cartoons by New Yorker cartoonist Shannon Wheeler) as well as a follow up book about non-canonical Christian and Jewish texts called Apocrypha Now (Top Shelf Productions/IDW, 2016).
