When we last saw Dale Chestnutt, he was in a pretty rough state from the events of the first Ferals arc (see issues #1-6; previously reviewed) which culminated in a Mexican stand-off and shoot out free-for-all between Dale, Christopher Ingebritsen and the Ferals clan as well as the FBI agents.
I’m telling you… dude can draw some seriously mean mountains!
Ferals #7 opens with some beautiful landscape art by Andrade of the snow-topped West Coast mountains. Having just come back a few days ago from vacation in British Columbia and Washington, I’m telling you… dude can draw some seriously mean mountains! I was pretty rattled when the shop I visited in Washington didn’t carry Avatar titles because I didn’t get to read this until I got back yesterday and I can’t go without my Avatar titles. But wait… I was talking about that epic shootout! Dale is somehow alive, though barely and page 1-3 show Dale chowing down on gorgeous Gerda’s innards. Page 2-3 really blew me away with a great double page shot of Dale stuffing his face full of Gerda’s guts.

Page 4 brings us back to reality with Dale hospitalized though unscathed by the events of Ferals #6. How can this be? As the FBI explains to Dale and fills us in; the feds are taking care of him and having his nails trimmed as far back as possible so that he doesn’t go Feral on their asses. Yet not too much can contain a handsome, slick-talking, shit-kicking werewolf like Dale Chestnutt and the feds have to unleash a blast of buckshot on Dale though he obviously survives now that he’s Feral.
The feds have come in to a position of power over Dale!
The feds have come in to a position of power over Dale and aren’t seeking to experiment on him, though readers get the impression that their use of him in another Ferals cell spells nothing but bad news down the line for our beloved anti-hero. I was a bit pissed that Lapham killed off that babe Gerda but trust me, there’s a lot more sex to come; did you honestly think Dale wouldn’t continue boning babes? Hell yeah he would.
Dale uses his charm on the locals!
I don’t want to spoil it any more for you guys, this series is amazing, you should all go out and buy it or give David Lapham, Gabriel Andrade and Avatar Press an apology for being such an ignorant shithead and not reading it.
