PORTLAND, Ore. 04/02/2026 — The highly anticipated, silent interlude issue featuring surprise Stray Dogs appearances—Feral #21 by creative masterminds Tony Fleecs and Trish Forstner—has sold out completely at the distributor level. Image Comics will fast-track a second printing of this new story arc kickoff issue in order to keep up with escalating reorder activity.
“We hoped people would get a kick out of our silent issue and the big surprise at the end. But the response has been so positive,” said Fleecs. “The fans seem genuinely surprised and excited and we are too. THE STRAY DOGS IN FERAL! Holy crap! The whole Feral team has been protecting this secret for such a long time. So, it’s a huge relief to finally have the cat out of the bag! Er… Dogs…? Out of the bag?”
Forstner added: “Ghost and Moosh are two of my favorite characters in the series. To have such a great reception to the new arc makes me even more jazzed to show you all what’s coming!”
In Feral #21, Moosh the Rottweiler has vanished… and only one cat has the claws, cunning, and nine-lived determination to track him down. As the enigmatic Ghost slinks through the shadows on the hunt for his missing friend, he uncovers a secret so big it’ll reshape the world of Feral fur-ever. Readers won’t want to miss this whisker-twitching thriller told entirely from the POV of everyone’s favorite hearing-impaired battle cat. Plus, a last page shocker that will make Stray Dogs fans howl with delight.
Feral #21, 2nd printing (Lunar Code 0226IM8450) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, April 29.
