Feral, the “Walking Dead, but with cats” title from Image Comics by Tony Fleecs and Trish Forstner, is delivering a “silent interlude issue” with Feral #21 next year. But perhaps even more surprising? It seems like the issue will also feature a crossover with Fleecs and Forstner’s other hit series, Stray Dogs.
“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 via press release. “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!”
Added Forstner, “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!”
Feral #21 will hit comic book stores on March 25, 2026 with covers by Fleecs & Forstner, and Allen Passalaqua, including one that pays tribute to the classic “silent interlude” issue of G.I. Joe. Check out the covers and synopsis below:
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.
