The Woods Vol. 7 The Black City

A Midwestern high school is transported into the middle of an Alien forest. This is the story of what happens next.

Is there a reason mankind has always feared the untamed forest? Isaac’s premonitions have revealed the key to returning to Earth: The Black City. Karen, Sanami, and Ben will have to venture far beyond the reaches of the civilization they’ve built and into the heart of the alien wilderness in the hopes of finally going home. But in the center of the woods, they discover the truth behind the ancient fear of the forest for themselves. Written by James Tynion IV (Detective Comics, Memetic) and illustrated by Michael Dialynas (Gotham Academy, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), “The Black City” collects the seventh arc of the best-selling series.
