    Comic Bastards - Dustin Cabeal Aug 6, 2014

    The Woods I believe is half-way done, which is good and bad. Good because it means we're half way to the end and bad for the exact same reason. If for some reason you haven't checked out one of the best titles that BOOM! Is publishing (Thomas Alsop being the other) then you are missing out on a series that embodies the reason to read comic books; great stories and fantastic art that you won't see anywhere else.

    Weekly Comic Book Review - Noah Sharma Aug 13, 2014

    The Woods remains a fascinating look at authority and compliancy. Issue 4 rounds a bend, tying up the first set of storylines while setting the stage for an even more interesting set of obstacles to survive, escape, and endure. Read Full Review

    Major Spoilers - Ashley Victoria Robinson Aug 13, 2014

    The Woods #4 will be enjoyed by readers who already have context and are fans of the series. It's not a great jumping on point and it's not a great issue. Read Full Review
