Comics: The Woods ~ Issue 3

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

(Cover A by Ramon K. Perez)

The Plot:
Adrian's group encounters a green gigantic monster bear dinosaur in the woods. Stranger things occur as the insect bite in Calder's arm begins to emit pheromones which had led the monster to them in the first place. Crazy bugs soon emerge from the inflammation and emitted more pheromone gasses to the group. The issue ends with the group seeing an Aztec temple.

The Good:
This issue gave us a lot of crazy stuff. Pheromone releasing bugs that are almost the same size as a cat? That is really intense. Imagine if that was a mosquito ready to suck on your blood. It sure does beat going to the hospital and having a blood donation.

Aside from the strange creatures, a lot of scenes also took place at Bay Point Preparatory High School. The struggle for control and order has emerge, which is seen through the disassemble of the student body.

This ensuing tension was greatly given to us by the creators of The Woods.

The Bad:
One can't just wait to get hold of the next issue in order to know what happens next to the group.

The Verdict:
The 3rd issue of The Woods reveals to us that even after being abducted by aliens, the evil nature of man shows. As Bay Point Preparatory High faces dictatorship and the group in the woods struggle for survival, the instinct to live surpasses among other things.

The Woods just gets more exciting as we ponder for the connection of the Aztec temple in all of this.
