Feeding Ground has been a pretty unique comic. With this issue, we come to the conclusion of a six-book story that has been offered as a dual-language flip book. It's a werewolf story, involving illegal Mexican immigrants, and an American security company that acts as a front for the werewolves.
When the series started, it showed a lot of promise, but I'm afraid to say that it didn't quite hold up under the weight of what Lang was trying to do here. I found, at different points in the story, and especially in this last issue, that the story became a little disjointed and hard to follow.
Some of the blame for that is on Lapinski, who, while a very good artist, doesn't always use the clearest storytelling techniques.
At the end, I did enjoy this comic a fair amount. I like that the story addressed some topics that are rarely explored in comics, and I am always a fan of a good horror story that contains elements of the real world beyond vacationing high school seniors. I would imagine that the creators have learned a lot from producing this comic, and would be interested in seeing what they come up with next.
