Ferals Volume 2
David Lapham has re-defined the modern werewolf tale in a gripping human drama full of violence, sex, and horror with Ferals! Dale Chesnutt’s troubles didn’t end in Cypress. Having survived the FBI massacre of the Feral community, he finds himself recruited to help the Bureau uncover a much bigger conspiracy and eliminate the threat once and for all. Teaming up with a female agent posing as his wife, Chesnutt soon finds that the feral blood in him is changing her and driving them to become part of the cursed town. And when a Viking descendant reveals his intent to grow an army of feral wolves and destroy the people that have hunted his kind for centuries, the werewolf conspiracy is blown wide open. Feral wolves, crazed militia, and soldiers collide as the world of the Ferals breaks wide open and into all-out war! The trade collects Ferals #7-12 of the ongoing horror series.

The story picks up from the climatic ending of the previous volume.
Dale is recruited by force to go undercover.
Most of the theory behind the transformation as well as the political history of the various tribes are explained here.
Overall more intense and the thrill is surely building up.

3.5 stars.
Technically this volume was a deeper story than the first volume, but it also got much more complicated and didn't seem quite as entertaining. That being said, it still wasn't bad.
In this one the government gets involved in the werewolf epidemic, and we find out a crazed werewolf cult leader has a plan to create a werewolf army. The MC from the first volume is right in the middle of things, and the next volume promises to be explosive. Art is still very fitting for the story, and I like the style.
Still plenty of graphic violence, nudity and sex so readers be aware.
This is really a very well done werewolf tale, and we really don't see enough of them.

The first volume was better IMO. This one was a bit confusing for me.

(Zero spoiler review) 4.5/5
Well, my previously mentioned concerns were for the most part, greatly misplaced. If anything, the second volume was even better than the first. The main character, who was a little one dimensional in the first arc gets rounded out a lot more, and with the addition of an interesting an rather fetching foil for him to play off (...and with). I can still remember the first Avatar title I read (Necronomicon, by Alan Moore). The overt depravity and sexualised violence caught me off guard, as I certainly wasn't expecting anything of the sort. Since then, I have gone on to greatly respect and appreciate the Avatar imprint for producing uncensored mature content. Needless to say, Ferals volume 2 certainly delivers in the mature department, yet it is largely in service of story and plot. But even if it wasn't, who cares, where all adults here (I presume). Volume two sees the world fleshed out, with the somewhat quaint nature of the tale in volume one given a much broader circumference, both in size and scale. Normally I would decry such a move, preferring the smaller, more intimate story over something larger or expansive, but Lapham has kept enough small character moments whilst dipping his toes into the activities beyond the small town setting. I just wish the series was longer running, and it continued to stack layer after layer on top of this engrossing (and grossening) story. It seems a staple now that issue 3 of each arc diverts to deal with a relevant piece of the backstory. These issues are without a doubt my favourite. I can only hope for another in the final arc. I'll be more than disappointed when this series comes to an end. Likely later today when I finish it. Luckily for me, there's a much wider range of Avatar titles for my depraved little mind to enjoy. 4.5/5

Things kick into high gear for this series with this volume. Dale Chesnutt has been “drafted” by the FBI to infiltrate another werewolf cult/ colony. The FBI believes that there were only a handful of werewolf colonies here in the United States, but it turns out there are more, including one that is breeding a werewolf army.
There is nothing cooler than a werewolf. The only thing cooler than werewolves are armies of warring werewolves. David Lapham and Gabriel Andrade have delivered a spit-shined masterwork. If this high level of quality is maintained it may well rival Werewolf By Night as the greatest werewolf comic of all time. This is much better than Volume 1, which I really enjoyed.
Ferals, like all Avatar Press titles, is high on violence, gore, and sex. All ages reading it is most certainly not. If you like your Horror comic books on the extreme side then anything Avatar does is for you. Volume 1 was released in hardcover and softcover. Sales weren't there, so Volume 2 was only released in softcover. Boo-urns! Come on, fandom! Buy the shit out of this book so that we can get a hardcover!

The story is continuing to get wild, but it's also getting confused. There is a certain similarity to the art in depicting men and women unless there are massive differences in their descriptions. Unless you're bald, you're going to look like about four other characters at times. Unless you have jet black short hair as a woman, you'll look like a whole whole whole buncha women.
Also, the plot is starting to go sideways and confusing. It's like Lapham thinks he's doing Red Harvest and he's really just making people flip flip flip sides.

Segundo comic del mes:
Ferals, vol. 2
David Lapham & Gabriel Andrade
Avatar Press, 2013
Este segundo volumen amplía el alcance de la trama, yendo de un pequeño pueblo en Minnesota a la revelación de múltiples comunidades de hombres lobo con distintas facciones y una conspiración política. El protagonista empieza a dudar sobre a quién le debe lealtad y tiene que equilibrar su deber con su instinto en medio de toda la violencia y la sexualidad desatadas.
3.5/5

La historia está tornando en una verdadera guerra con estos hombres lobos. Se han presentado los bandos y los personajes relevantes. La acción descarnada y las escenas sexuales siguen estando a la orden del día.

Ramps up somewhat from the first volume, getting dangerously edgy to up the stakes in its sheer volume of violence and sexual depravity, unfortunately bogging itself down with some awkward plot to justify the spectacle. There's still brainless fun to be had, though.

Violent, strange and the artwork is phenomenal.
August 12, 2014
A lot of gore and a lot of sex, which has become the norm for this series which still fails to find a proper footing plot wise.
December 31, 2014
Lots of gore and sex. Again very little of the modern day werewolf mythology was touched upon. Also, not much was revealed about the government agency that is aware and investigates the paranormal.

Me gusta ese combo de secta y hombres lobo que le han dado. Igual de viceral que el volumen anterior pero la escala es mayor.
