The Woods #23

The Woods #23 delivers a kinetic, all-out brawl right on its cover, where two determined young fighters — one wielding crossed blades and another thrusting a spear — are surrounded on all sides by a menagerie of armored, monstrous creatures, including a snarling green dragon, a helmeted red-faced beast bearing a banner, and a glowing-eyed purple creature lunging from the chaos. Michael Dialynas's linework captures the frantic energy of a desperate last stand, with Josan Gonzalez's colors lending each creature a vivid, otherworldly glow against the pale forest backdrop. James Tynion IV's BOOM! Studios series continues to put its teenage protagonists against seemingly impossible odds, and this issue promises no shortage of that signature tension.
