A high school disappears from Earth... and lands in the middle of an alien nightmare.

On October 16, 2013, Bay Point Preparatory High School mysteriously vanished from suburban Milwaukee, only to reappear on a strange, forest-covered moon in an unknown part of the universe. With no answers and no way home, students and faculty face a terrifying alien wilderness filled with unimaginable threats and nightmarish encounters alongside their desperate attempt to reclaim normalcy in a rebuilt society.

With rising tensions, shifting loyalties, and a looming cosmic threat, the path home is anything but clear. Can they survive the strange secrets that led to their arrival together? Or will the truth ultimately destroy them first?

From GLAAD Media Award-winning and Eisner-nominated writer James Tynion IV (Something is Killing the Children, The Nice House on the Lake) and acclaimed artist Michael Dialynas (Wynd, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) comes a genre-bending saga.

Collects The Woods #1-12.
