Status Updates From Feral, Vol 4: Pet City

Notes:
(1) After kicking off pretty hot, this settled to a low simmer.
- I wouldn't exactly call the back end "horror" per se, except for some gross-out scenes and jump scares.
(2) The last three issues are oddly very "Game of Thrones."
- We get analogues to Craster's Keep and Slaver's Bay, the "dragons as nukes" allegory—a giant dog this time—and some real soapy melodrama.

Notes:
(1) I can't help but feel a bit disappointed that they only touched on the whole The Wicker Man/Midsommar vibe that ended the last volume.
- We've defaulted back to some good ol' zombie carnage, which is cool and all but just feels like a missed opportunity.
(2) I really enjoy how the department store protocol and slogans are pretty much the Pet City religion.

Notes:
(1) Since I stopped reading this in singles, it's been nearly a year since this series has even entered my line of sight.
- Still, it's a credit to the skill involved that I actually remember where it left off, as well as many of the major plot points.
- That said, I still skim-read the previous volume to refresh my memory... names, for example, I'd mostly forgotten.
