Apocalyptic mystery for teens. A little horror, a little fantasy, lots of angst: "The glowing stone is an arrow, left to show us the way. We have to follow it into the heart of the unknown. We must enter the woods..." Nothing special, but serves its purpose.
2.5 stars. I wasn't wowed by this. There's lots of little problems with the structure of the book that keep popping up and once that happens, it's a little hard to enjoy the story for what it is. Some kind of arrow unearths itself next to a high school. The students and faculty find themselves transported to what appears to be another planet. Six students decide to follow the arrow into the woods to see if they can discover the reason why they've been transported, while the rest of the students
There is so much going on with this story! I liked how it had several different settings and didn't stick to one place. I also loved how fast this story moved. Something is always happening. While I enjoyed this for the most part, I didn't find it to be the strongest setup for this series. I will definitely be continuing on with this series though, because I'm quite intrigued to see where it goes!
2020 Re-Read 3.5 Stars: So I pretty much had the same feelings that I had when I read this back in 2016. I really enjoyed the artwork. While this wasn't the best comic that I've ever read, it is creepy and I think that the premise is intriguing. I think that it does have potential to be a little confusing because the characters are transported to this planet and no one knows anything (this is even disorientating for the reader). I enjoyed that it tackles several major themes like power and survi...
James Tynion is apparently a protege of Scott Snyder, and he did write a very good Red Hood story for Zero Year, so I gave this a shot.It's kinda like Lord of the Flies meets a Star Trek premise meets the Breakfast Club, but with less funny, and more darkness.A Wisconsin High School finds itself transported to some otherworldly planet (or moon as one of the kids rightly points out) in the middle of a very dense set of Woods. We meet some of the personalities, and get to know their slot or ni
Picked this comic up at Emerald City Comic Con because it sounded interesting and I ended up finishing it in one sitting - almost as soon as I got home. While the high school side is a little contrived (high school tropes in full swing, a little unbelievable that all the other staff would let this crazy gym teacher take over with such extreme measures so quickly) the other half of the book with the students exploring the woods was much more interesting. I found this first Volume to be equal part...
Ok, here is another of those Kindle Unlimited comics, that have been dwelling on my TBR pile for a while. A school of 500 pupils and teachers is snatched and deposited on an alien planet, in the middle of some woods. The fauna is not friendly. Surprisingly gory for something that has been shelved as YA on Goodreads. So, what to do? The grown-ups are English teachers and librarians and just as clueless as the kids. But then someone gets a clue and some of the kids make up their own minds. Things
This was not what I was expecting at all. I'm pleasantly surprised. This is a great Sy-fy mystery.A high school is transported to a whole to new planet and no one knows what's going on. Is this like an 'Aliens' thing where they are being hunted? is this a drama where one crazy guy takes over the school authoritarian style and people lose their freedom? Is this a big mystery and no one knows what is going on? Yes, this is all of those things. There is a fresh voice, plenty of characters, plenty o...
I tried friends, I tried.So those who follow my reviews know that I’m trying to give various authors I had a one star first experience with but keep hearing “they’re such great authors” another try. Well I hated that shitty attempt at a Detective Comics run that James Tynion IV did but he was one of those authors and this looked like it had potential which it did... but that potential was wasted.What’s it about?An entire school full of people suddenly disappears from Earth and ends up on an alie...
This was interesting. I wanted to like it more. I think maybe it's made for teenagers (which I can get behind, love Nova and Ms Marvel is fun) but I just couldn't get sucked in to this one for some odd reason. Maybe didn't love any character, or the pacing felt odd at times, or a bit cliche and easy to see coming moments. On the flipside the artwork is unique and quite good. I also liked some of the character's action and a surprise here and there. The atmosphere is unique and different and I ha...
This wasn’t too bad albeit a bit watered down for a YA audience for my normal taste.
This was a fun, quick, easy read. Only 4 issues long with a fast paced story that just kind of whips you along.There's not a whole lot of rocket science going on in this one. You kind of just need to suspend your disbelief and go with the flow. If you are capable of that, then this can make for a pretty enjoyable read.Basically, a high school gets teleported to another planet or a different dimension, or something? It's not really clear (yet) the why, where, or how.And for now, it doesn't really...
Bullet Review:Very enjoyable! A high school gets transported to some alien moon and, well, chaos ensues. Five teens head out to try to solve the mystery of why they are there while the rest fight to exert control.This is the type of story I love; adventure/journey/travel/survival stories. It brings out the best - and worst - in people.
