"It's the second year of famine.

The metropolis continues to starve.

You are hungry for justice.

You are hungry for revenge.

But most of the time, you're just hungry.

Will you join the gangs of flesh-eaters roaming the dark eskinitas?

Or will you sign up for the Anti-Cannibalism Division for better rations?

Your call.

Just make up your mind before you end up as lunch.

This is the world of FEED.

Dig in."

The Plot:

The Central's Plainclothes Unit is still searching for Tom, said to be responsible for the disappearances of several children. They do their search while carrying out Emergency Ordinance 028 as part of their mandate of being on ACD (Anti-Cannibalism Division).

The Good:

The second issue of Feed takes us on the darker scenery of a world enveloped by famine. The way Feed was made is like you're watching an episode of the walking dead. Imagine that intro scene until the very end credits of each episode. That's what these guys give to you. The comic was made in such a way that Pelikomiks Studios really stood up for what they aim to do in telling their stories in their comics.

The Bad:

I just wished more comic stores would be selling this local title. This should really be in the hands of more people.

The Verdict:

The second issue of Feed takes us deeper to the darker possibilities of the effects of massive famine. Corporal Pena shows this by being part of ACD. A child he has just rescued from a group of cannibals had sadly killed his own father in order to settle down the growing hunger within him. Corporal Pena has been left to enforce the law and executes the child on the spot as stated in Emergency Ordinance 028.

Feed takes us to a journey that could be a scary reality bound to happen. As El Niño continues to surge the Philippines, one could only hope that Feed will remain as a story in a comic that was greatly told by its creators from Pelikomiks Studios.

"The truly innocent are long dead. Anyone who has managed to survive two years of famine is guilty of something." - Omar

The Plot:

The story is set in Metro Manila. It has been 2 years since the famine has struck. It depopulated the metropolis, made humans turn to their pets for food or trade a cellphone for a clump of burnt rice. Eventually the hunger takes control of the mind, in search of available resources it could feed on. Even if it includes eating fellow humans.

The Good:

The story takes us on a new problem that could arise if we live in a post-apocalyptic world enveloped by famine.

The characters were nicely drawn to be really thin in such a way that it was caused by the great hunger.

The Bad:

It is only the character of the chief that I'm not sure with the illustration. Stereotypically speaking, in normal circumstances he would be the fat boss. However, after 2 years of famine, he still possess a somehow obese to normal looking roundness of shape. It could be due to corruption of food resources but that could be a different issue.

The Verdict:

Pelikomiks Studios really wows us with another post-apocalyptic story. A future surrounded by great hunger is a scary thing to imagine. Most probably because that scenario can become a reality. The team takes us to a new world full of cannibalism which led to the creation of the Anti-Cannibalism Law.

Dig in to Feed. A Cannibal's story from the makers of Zombinoy. If you like your kids with lemon butter sauce, better watch out for the chief. He's a good chef who might turn you into a tasty sisig meal.
