The road to redemption is never easy—especially for Jax Teller. In this episode of the Source Material Comics Podcast, Mark Radulich and Jesse Starcher continue their deep dive into Sons of Anarchy: Redwood Original, covering issues 5 through 8. Jax is lost, spiraling into booze and regret after being kicked out of SAMCRO.

But just when things seem settled, a shocking cliffhanger changes everything. Jax is kidnapped, the club is left scrambling, and the tension is at an all-time high. Will Jax survive? Will SAMCRO be able to hold it together? Buckle up for another wild ride through the Sons of Anarchy universe—this one’s a game-changer.
