The Woods #16

The Woods #16 from Boom! Studios presents a quietly unsettling cover by Michael Dialynas, colored by Josan Gonzalez: a lone teenager in a jacket stands before an ancient stone structure glowing with eerie green-yellow light, while in the foreground a massive, wide-eyed creature lurks just below the frame — its bulk dwarfing the solitary figure above. The split composition brilliantly captures the tension between human vulnerability and the alien dangers that define this series. James Tynion IV's otherworldly survival story continues to deliver that perfect blend of wonder and dread that made it one of 2015's most compelling ongoing titles.
