The Woods, Volume 1: The Arrow

    In 2013 over 500 over students and teachers from a Milwaukee high school disappear without a trace. Who am I kidding, the whole freakin' school vanished as well! The student body finds themselves light years away from earth with very little supplies and even less hope. 
      
    The planet the students find themselves on is full of unusual plant life, deadly fauna, and a glowing mysterious rock. When one of the students claims to have communicated with the rock, a group forms in hopes of discovering a way home. 

     Meanwhile, back at the school, factions have developed in a horrible display of survival of the fittest. With a spineless principal being influenced by a very slimy football coach, there's worse monsters in the school than what is out in the woods.

    The Woods is one of the most compelling and interesting series that I have read in a very long time. Batman Eternal's James Tynion IV crafts a story that really tricks the reader. You think at first that this is going to be your typical youngsters surviving by any means possible adventure. I was ready for your normal normal teen-angst schlock. Thankfully, the Woods is anything but normal. 

    One part Degrassi Junior High. One part LOST. One part alien abduction tale. This Boom Studios series is an unpredictable of the forests that surround our mysterious planet's newest public school. 

     I've just got to get my hands on volume 2 quick!

    Worth Consuming!
