Karen goes deeper into the uncharted part of the woods, where even Nigel has never fully explored. He doesn't know what kind of wildlife she might encounter there, but it becomes clear there are more dangerous things than creatures waiting for her in the wilderness.

Honestly, this feels like an issue that will feel stronger in the context of subsequent issues. It's not a bad installment by any means, but the plot advances only behind the scenes and a bit too much is dedicated to Casey MacReady's speeches to get the blood pumping. Still, the climax is great and the art and characterization are just as strong as you'd imagine. Michael Dialynas gets a chance to shine a little more brightly than he already does each month with some serious dramatic heft and beautiful psychedelic effects. This new 'season' of The Woods has different priorities, and interesting priorities, and this issue is dedicated to serving them. It doesn't enthrall the way the last few issues have, but the core of quality running through the title remains. Read Full Review
