Casey plans come to fruition and it's not good. Karen finally steps into the leadership role she's been avoiding. Things change in a big way. On to volume 6. Loving this series.

This really is a spectacular series.

(3,5 of 5 for lighting the fuse of the story's culmination)The start of The Woods was terrible. The art - it is what it is, I do not like it, but I got used to it, and it is not wrong, but kind of sloppy and not a style I would prefer. There are some blunders in it, but mostly for the educated reader and easily overlooked by the dynamic of the story, which is getting better and better. The twists are good and I like the direction of the story. I didn't get rid of the role of the observer and kin...

3.5/5They pull no punches. We get more than one meaningful death.I need to take a break but chances are I'll read Vol. 6 today.

*3.5/5 Stars*Had everything I expected from a volume of The Woods - crazy plot twists, great fight scenes, character development and emotion. Not my favourite volume but it certainly wasn't lacking in anything that makes this series what is it. I always want to know what's going to happen next so bring on volume 6!

This was so crazy!! So much has changed and these kids are going through so freaking much! I'm curious to see what they are going to do to keep themselves safe from these horrible creatures and the power of the planet. I can't imagine going through what they're going through. This was AMAZING. If you haven't checked them out yet please do so soon.

Now that a new leader of Bay Point is close to being voted in, the details behind his plans become clear. They aren’t good and they’re going south. Fast. It’s a good thing there’s many good people among Bay Point, and some of them are determined to make sure they pull through the deadly shenanigans and not find their community under a dictatorship when all is said and done.Remember when I was feeling pretty iffy about where the series looked like it was heading? This volume threw those feelings

More backstories. The plot becomes more complex and weirder. Several revelations, some expected and others not so much. Monsters, drugs, bodily harm and death. After reading five volumes more or less back to back, I ran out of steam a little though. I need a break. I might continue at a later point.

This is where the rubber hits the road - all the scheming and planning play out as the Horde and the school have it out, and most of the players get their moments to shine, especially Karen, Isaac, and Maria. There's also a lot of flashbacks that help to flesh out the characters, and some are very powerful. This is just as powerful as The Walking Dead, and just as dark, despite its still-distinctive color schemes. Some impressive action and some wrenching emotional bits make this a highlight of

An entirely pivotal volume, as major changes happen at the school, and our core cast of characters finally (re)assembles themselves. We also get some nice characterization along the way. Tynion is really doing a great job of balancing a lot of elements and pushing forward an intriguing mystery box.

i'm honestly always ready to beat casey's ass i'm glad calder finally did it

I'm really loving the story and the art is absolutely fantastic. People make choices and there are consequences, it's gritty and real and I'm so eager for more!

The Woods is set to run 36 issues or so, and as this volume brings us up to 20, we can call this the end of the second act. If this was a TV show, this would be the midseason finale, as Casey's plot with the Horde goes south, and the remaining 'sane' people at Bay Point try to deal with the insanity. I think drawing back to the focus to the school and away from New London makes sense; I felt like some of the characters were getting lost in the shuffle when they were in the larger colony, whereas...

Bullet Review:THERE we go. Enough of this weird traipsing around, teenaged mumbo jumbo melodrama (though who is Dominic again and where was the scene where Maria and him argued???). Time to start getting some answers!

Weird things happen, korean-leader-nazi-guy -with-mustache is evil, green lights everywhere, Karen is being badass, monster attack and it is still fun!I really enjoy Kalder and Karen, other characters are a little bit annoying but some of them died. (yay) I have to marvel because I like the intrigue that Tynion build here. It still feels like a cross between an alien story and fantasy and so far it works. Hope it will all pan out in the end!

honestly, i have no idea where it's heading and i'm very very confused by what's happening in the story. i still hope that it will come around in the end, but i don't know...

In James Tynian IV’s sci-fi/horror/teen drama graphic novel series The Woods, Volume 5, “The Horde”: the evil force that possessed Adrian is now possessing Isaac; Calder is beginning to suspect that his brother has made a real deal with the devil; Karen, still reeling from guilt after killing Adrian, doesn’t think she can be a leader, but she might be thrust into the role; Maria learns what true leadership is as she attempts to lead several dozen students to safety from the monsters attacking th...

The stakes were raised here, perhaps a bit too high. What I did like about this volume was that we’re starting to learn character back stories a bit more. It seems a bit late in the game to be adding dimension to these characters (especially when some are now dying when they really only ever had a chance to be archetypes), but it was an offering that’ll keep me going. I think the rest of the series isn’t on unlimited, but I’m willing to fork over a bit of cash to finish this series off.

"'What's going to happen now?''We're going to go find answers.'"It's also my fourth read for the MakeYourMythTaker Readathon, created by Ashleigh (aka A Frolic Through Fiction). My "second" character is the Royal Spy. It fills the following challenge:🕵 Read an underhyped book.I have such a soft spot for this YA sci-fi series! It has the perfect mix of teenage drama, survival craziness and scientific points, and the stakes keep getting higher and higher. I won't talk much because it's the fifth v...

There is no time for questions! So much is happening!A slower build than normal for this series but the intensity was real and present throughout. I've said it so many times and I'll keep saying it, this series is so good. Constant character building with consistent spectacular artwork, all wrapped up into a fun and engaging story.The previous book had a big jump forward leaving many questions on what happened in-between. This book has no such thing. Questions yes but we start to piece things to...
