Comics: The Woods ~ Issue 2

Story by: James Tynion IV
Illustrated by: Michael Dialynas
BOOM! Studios
(5/5 ★★★)

(Cover A by Ramon K. Perez)

The Plot:
Previously, the whole Bay Point Preparatory High School was abducted into an unfamiliar planet in a solar system not resident of Earth.

In this issue, it continues to explore the mystery of the planet as familiar earthly problems arise for the Bay Point Preparatory High School Community. This issue ends with Adrian's group, which has been venturing off deep into the woods, encountering a big four red eyed green alien monster.

The Good:
An alien monkey is nicely added to Adrian's group as they dwell deeper into the woods. It instantly becomes attached to Isaac after feeding it with beef jerky. This little alien monster is one cute but scary pet to have around.

The Bad:
Nothing much is revealed in this issue regarding to where they are and what is the reason for their abduction.

The Verdict:
This issue does not reveal much to what we had already known from the previous one. Despite that, the plot is still interesting enough to get you coming back for the third issue. The craziness in this alien abduction themed story can still keep you wanting to know more.
