Following last issue's harrowing revelations, we catch a glimpse of Bay Point Preparatory
High School before the fateful events of October 16, 2013 in this new story arc. On
opening night of the school's rendition of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," the lives of the
students and faculty crossed paths in an almost premonitory way, seeding the various
horrors to come.
Frankly if you're not reading The Woods then you need to drop a title and pick it up. The first volume trade is out at the same time so you can catch up this week and it's worth it. This is in the top three of titles that BOOM! Is publishing so don't let it pass you by, you'll only regret it when its two years into the story and everyone won't stop talking about it.

THE WOODS is a rare thing - it is a comic that everybody can relate to. We are experiencing a wonderful growth in the range of comic subjects. Comics are developing for an unbelievably diverse and rapidly expanding market. There are very few comics (like SAGA and perhaps RAT QUEENS) that have such a broad appeal that will encompass the breadth of this audience. Although it is science fiction, THE WOODS is also a mystery. It is a coming of age story that includes many so characters that almost all readers can find someone with whom to connect.

Youthful characters with increasing shades of grey are making things go in different directions that is rife with peril and suspense. This might be my new favorite series! Read Full Review
Interesting character developments and promises of dragons Read Full Review
The deeper you get into The Woods, the further you want to go! Read Full Review
While the lack of progression does weigh The Woods #5 down, more great art from Michael Dialynas and remarkably sincere character development from Tynion make this arguably the best issue yet. Read Full Review
Whilst the main story continues with a few twists and turns (as I have come to expect from this comic), slowing down this issue may take a few readers off guard. However, this serves to flesh out the overall story and characters that Tynion is building and proves another solid addition to this series. Read Full Review
This isn't the most entertaining issue of The Woods so far, considering the mute, slow pace. Sure, this switch in gears away from the quick, eventfulness of past issues is perhaps necessary for the overall story and works well, but it does come across as less enjoyable. With that noted, The Woods #5 is a great issue that continues to cement this as a special, note-worthy comic book series. Read Full Review
A solid issue, but one that fails to meet the standards of the previous 4 by a smidge. Still found it to be a necessary read, mind you! Read Full Review
Read this series. Spend the money to get the first trade and issue #5. I guarantee you you'll be glad you did. Read Full Review
Perhaps the best praise that I can give to Tynion IV and Dialynas is that they have convinced me, through this excellent issue, to continue reading the series and to track down the first trade paperback collection so that I can come at future issues with all of the knowledge necessary to fully appreciate the story. The art and story really jive well on this book and nothing seems neglected or out-of-place. This is indie comic books at their finest great characters, rad artwork and a compelling plot rife with danger and the unknown. Read Full Review
This is my favorite indie series thus far! I was very leery about picking up this series, but I have had zero regrets. Makes Morning Glories look like summer camp, and it's "agenda free"! And how can you not fall in love love with Doctor Robot!?
