The Woods, Vol. 4: Movie Night by James Tynion IV
5.0
This review covers the first five volumes of the series
What happens when a school in the Midwest is zapped onto another planet entirely? That’s the conceit behind The Woods which, over five volumes so far, gives a pretty solid take on the genre of a bunch of lost students having to make their way on an unfamiliar planet. We get a lot of how the individual personalities and social hierarchy impact the survival instincts of the teens on a new planet, as well as get a lot of information as to how the planet works.
The later volumes maybe even improve on the idea even moreso, especially as things tend to settle down. I’m really, really into this series and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next volume, as this is a very interesting series with a lot going for it.
