PORTLAND, Ore. 12/17/2025 — The bestselling, ongoing series Feral—by Stray Dogs masterminds Tony Fleecs and Trish Forstner—will kick off a new story arc with a purr-ticularly special, highly collectible silent interlude issue featuring surprise cameo appearances. Feral #21 will hit shelves in March from Image Comics.
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.
“One of my favorite things about Feral is that, out of all the books I work on, this is the one that feels the most purely comics,” said Fleecs. “Even though it’s about cats in a rabies apocalypse and not musclebound heroes… Because this book is an ongoing… because the readers and retailers that continue to support us, we get to do really fun comic book stuff sometimes like this: A completely silent 21st issue (like God and Larry Hama intended) that sets the stage for a brand new arc and has a surprise last page that is guaranteed to have people freaking out… We’re doing big, exciting things this arc. You don’t want to miss it!”
Forstner added: “This book continues to amaze me, not only to make but to read. So much has happened over 20 issues and we are going to be doing more amazing things in this new arc! I am excited and thrilled as an artist and reader of this series to get to bring this story to life! We tested the waters on a mostly silent issue at #6 but now we will take it to a new level with Ghost, who actually can’t hear and see how he navigates this terrifying world. It will be a thing of beauty!”
