    Who will be the focus of the next issue? I'm sure I could look at the solicits and find out, but I really like being surprised. I was surprised by this issue for sure. As I said, Ben was severely underdeveloped, but now he's a contender and definitely a character I want to see more of. That's fantastic storytelling to turn a character like that around in just one issue. If you still haven't checked out The Woods, then you're only hurting yourself. Read Full Review

    If you're not reading The Woods right now, I honestly wouldn't be able to figure out why. This particular issue has all the elements of great storytelling: fleshed out characters whose characteristics act as both strengths and weaknesses, naturally developed motivations and actions, and a monumental main plot that builds momentum with each and every issue.

    The most intriguing character of this series finally got the attention he has had coming, and it does not disappoint. Not only is the plot cleverly constructed, but the art is excellent. The Woods #7 is one of the best issues of this great series. Read Full Review

    Weekly Comic Book Review - Noah Sharma Nov 11, 2014

    It would have been nice if we had gotten a little more depth in Benjamin's flashbacks, but some big reveals, heartrending moments, and a climax that'll leave you pumping your fist make this a worthy successor to the two strong spotlights, Tynion and Dialynas have already put out. You should be reading this series. Read Full Review
