Children of the Woods #[nn]

The cover alone makes a strong case for this 2022 Dark Horse series — a lone silhouetted figure walks toward an eerie green glow through a tunnel of twisted, bare branches, while two enormous yellow eyes loom in the darkness above, watching. The interplay of deep shadow and that unsettling phosphorescent light gives the whole image a fairy-tale-gone-wrong atmosphere that's genuinely hard to shake. Ciano, Hixson, Stevens, and Otsmane-Elhaou bring a moody, atmospheric sensibility to this horror offering that should appeal to anyone who loves their woods dark and their mysteries deeper still.
