Starred Review In a flash of light, all 437 students and 52 teachers of Bay Point Preparatory High School are transported to a forested alien world, filled with strange creatures that attack without mercy. While the faculty and students come to grips with the reality of their situation, a small group of teens ventures farther into the woods, determined to find a way out and understand why they were brought to this world. Tynion pulls no punches as he puts these kids through hell, and in the few moments they are allowed to stop to take a breath, they reveal very unique and original personalities, making them less like horror stereotypes and more like real, breathing kids. This only adds to the horror, as we can't help but become genuinely invested, hoping for the students to claw their way out. It's a remarkable achievement in economy that these interludes between action, though brief, carry so much emotional weight and inflect the narrative with meaningful emotional stakes. Dialynas' heavy outlining and neon color palette create a bizarre land rife with danger and heavy in adventure. With such a powerful start, this is one of the best new series you are not reading.
