I'm really beginning to enjoy Warren's style of slow build. It reminds me of stories like IT or 20th century boys and that's a good thing.

So Trees is about 3 individual stories all somehow connecting in small ways. One is about a boy going to a place that is accepting of all styles of life (sexually as well so like trans/gay/bi, so on) Another story is about a woman trying to figure out her needs and wants and meets a older man who may be able to gift her with those abilities to gain that. Last story is about (I believe) scientist trying to discover what these "Trees" are (aliens basically) and if they really are dormant or something far worse is coming.

Good: I really dug the fact we're getting three VERY different stories in one. Yet the part that connects them is they all feel like everyone is showing/coming into whom they really are. Now if that's a good thing or a bad thing is left up to the viewer but they are all very different, and no single voice is told here. I also enjoyed the art style and the way it looks and feels, very unique to the setting. The highlights are the story about the boy coming to a new place that is more accepting and the story of the Italian woman figuring out how to make it on her own. Both stories contain interesting moments and shocking revelations.

Bad: The story felt a tad rushed at the end and I would have liked it stretched just another issue or two to get used to the characters more. I also thought the third story here, the one with the scientist was easily the weakest and most forgettable of the bunch.

Overall it probably lands around a 3.5 for me but since I think it's unique and very different than mostly anything I read I'ma bump it to a 4 on here. Trees is a slow burn but once you get through it you'll be thinking about it for awhile. Can't wait to check out volume 2!
