Tony Fleecs and Trish Forstner are doing something different with Feral #21. The issue drops in March, and it’s completely silent. No dialogue, no captions, just the story told through art from the perspective of Ghost, the hearing-impaired battle cat.
Moosh the Rottweiler has vanished, and Ghost is the only one with the skills to track him down. As he moves through the shadows hunting for his missing friend, he uncovers something big enough to change the world of Feral permanently. The last page has a surprise that fans of Stray Dogs are going to lose it over.
Fleecs talks about how Feral feels like the most purely comics book he works on. Not because it’s about traditional superheroes, but because it’s an ongoing series that lets them take risks and do things like a completely silent 21st issue that sets up a new arc. He’s calling it big and exciting, the kind of thing you don’t want to miss.
Forstner tested the waters with a mostly silent issue back at #6, but this one takes it further. Seeing how Ghost navigates this terrifying world when he can’t hear is going to hit differently. Twenty issues in, and the series keeps finding new ways to tell its story about cats surviving a rabies apocalypse.
If you haven’t been reading Feral, there are three trade paperback volumes out now collecting the series so far. You can grab them at your local comic shop, independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, Waterstones, or digitally through Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
Feral #21 hits comic shops on March 25, 2026 with four different covers. Cover A and B by Fleecs and Forstner, Cover C is a 1:10 incentive, and Cover D is a 1:25 incentive.
This is the start of a new arc, and if you’ve been following the series, you know Fleecs and Forstner don’t play it safe. A silent issue from Ghost’s POV, a secret that reshapes everything, and a last page shocker. That’s how you kick off an arc.
