One word review: OUCH. Tynion just starts swinging at these characters (a.k.a my poor babies) and doesn’t let up. Calder isn’t mature enough to handle what’s (not) happening with him and Karen. Isaac’s heading down a dark road after his beloved Adrian’s departure and possible betrayal. Poor sweet Ben’s getting the nasty edge of Isaac’s resentment. With all the setup that had been done, it wasn’t a surprise that bad thing happened at the end of this volume - but I didn’t expect so many of them at...

Been a while since I picked this series back up, but it didn’t take a lot of effort to dive back in. I’m still enjoying it, and I’ll probably follow it until the volumes are no longer available through unlimited. It is the first comic series I have genuinely enjoyed in a long time.

World building on a mysterious world leaves one wanting so much more!The pacing in this series is really well done. Giving just enough balance between everyones story. I really like how it is beginning to dive into the world as we know it all while revealing more and more to be left wanting. The mystery in this is still there but so far it hasn't been annoying and the sole purpose of my desire to read this. Its been heavily focused on its characters. Their needs, motivations and personalities. A...

I was angry with the end of this chapter. It looks like they don't learn from history and attack anybody who could take them out of their misery.

I'm really digging this series. The beginning threw me a bit as they had just reached their kidnappers's city at the end of the last volume and now the kids are running around town like they have been there for a while. In this book, we get the history of New London, we finally get to see what the kids back at the school are up to, and things come to a head with Adrian. I have no idea where this series is headed, but I'm sure enjoying the ride there.

I am really really liking this series!

Though this new arc has taken a slightly different turn from the orginal premise of the series, I'm still digging it.This is one of the best (and gay-friendly) titles you're not reading.

Getting kind of weird. Still a cool concept, and the art remains to be amazing, but this story wasn't as good as the first volume.

This one’s a bit of a mess. It doesn’t follow naturally from the previous volume, nor does it unfold clearly. I frequently had to go back to see if I’d missed something. I was hoping for another Manifest Destiny, Vol. 1: Flora & Fauna type of book, but this isn’t it.

Want to see me talk about books? Check out my Youtube Channel: BexnbookxThe Woods, Volume 3: New London is a entertaining graphic novel series. With a rapidly changing scene, monsters, madness and an unpredictable plot, I am 100% invested and can't wait for more! On October 16th 2013, 437 students, 52 teachers, and 24 additional staff from Bay Point Prep High School in suburban Milwaukee, vanished without a trace. Light years away, the 513 people stolen from Earth are deposited in the middle of

Welcome Back!I am very proud of myself recently! I have been doing really good in keeping with my posting goals and I am even finding a little time here and there to pre-write some of the posts which feels fabulous! I have been trying to review two graphic novels a week and when I switched to this idea a little while back my thinking was that this would allow me to keep reading faster (at the time I was in the middle of Saga which is a long-form graphic novel series and it is currently on hiatus...

This volume was quite different from the first two but still very enjoyable!Can't wait to see what happens next.

I am enjoying this strange little series. We learn a lot more about this world. Some of the kids from the Woods actually make it back to the school. There is drama everywhere. The art students even want to put on a play. The first murder committed by a student happens in this one and several people die. There are plenty of mysteries to unravel in this one and what are these kids going to do. There are overtones of the book 'Lord of the Flies' going on here. I expect more deaths will follow. Ther...

2.5Well Volume 3 manages to sink most of the hard work done by Volumes 1 & 2 and if I hadn't already sunk my teeth into this series, I might've considered giving up. Tynion is overcomplicated the series with this volume and sadly it's quite disappointing. It's just full of setup and backstories, that aren't that interesting. Why the 2.5?It's a mess of ideas at the moment and Tynion can't seem to settle on one coherent setup. The teens are somewhat ignored and we're thrown into this central idea

Yeah, I admit it. I've spent most of the day bingeing the series. It's addictive. I have issues with it, and there's no way I'm giving it all the stars but it's immersive.

Third volume in the series and it seems like I always write the same review for these....great premise, good art and somewhere buried deep in the convoluted mess of a plot is a really really really good story, I just wish Tynion would find that story instead of what he gives us.So...I enjoyed it but this could be something great and it just comes off as something so mediocre. If this was a novel I'd say that he needs to fire his editor or find a better editor.(like always) not sure if I'll conti...

the characters in this series are so superb, I can't...

The third volume has a different feel from the first two volumes. Not a bad thing though. This volume does not start off exactly where the second left off. A bit of time went by between volume two and volume three, and I admit to being a little confused at first. There are new characters to get to know, and the plot thickens. The illustrations were a joy to look at. I just love the coloring in this. I'm really anxious about this new world. I want to know more about it. I hope that more will be r...

The plot thickens. The story took a small leap forward, which made me wonder for a moment, if I had skipped a volume and was missing something. Still, nothing too drastic, I still understood what was going on and where I was in the plot. This seems to be gearing up for a climax...
