The Woods, Issue #26 follows the same pattern as Issue #25, starting out in the world that the students left behind, and again focusing on Karen's mother, Dr. Jacobs. Sanami's father is on the television, saying that the students who disappeared are dead. The story is classic science fiction. You take ordinary people and put them into an extraordinary situation, creating a human drama with a touch of mystery.
One thing that has surprised me is that the moon on which the students live doesn't have a name, at least from what I've read. I guess the creators of the comic don't want to fall into the pitfall of the characters saying the name of the place over and over again. The title, of course, is simply The Woods.
I didn't take a good look at the cover of this issue until I finished it. The cover almost seems like it doesn't fit with the rest of the story, since the issue ends with the four getting ready to go out on an excursion to the Black City. The cover features the four characters battling a pair of monsters either on their way to or in the Black City.
