You can take the animal out of the wild… but you can’t take the wild out of the animal. Wild Thing is a queer horror-drama graphic novel series about a fox who joins a religious cult of dogs who worship humans.
Magdalene knows all too well about how difficult it is to survive in the wild, and the uncertainty of what awaits after death looms over her like a dark shadow.
She finds hope when she stumbles across Pure Heart Adoption Center, a home to dogs who follow a religion called the Friends of Man. The dogs preach of unlimited shelter, food, and water that come only to those who dedicate their lives to human masters.
Their teachings of eternal life keep drawing Magdalene back to visit, but there’s a catch- she’s a wild animal. The Friends of Man tell her that if she wants to be adopted and therefore spared from damnation, she must leave the woods and her family behind forever.
Stuck with a paw in both worlds, tensions rise as each side begs Magdalene to abandon the other. She is faced with a choice- give up her life to be a human’s pet, or stay in the woods at the cost of a hellish afterlife she’s not even sure exists?
Wild Thing has content that may be inappropriate or upsetting for some readers, including but not limited to: language, violence, gore, animal death, religious themes, themes of mental illness and trauma, and themes of homophobia/transphobia. Reader discretion is advised.
