Oddity Woods by Kay Davault (also known as Kay D) is was a webcomic but is now to be a middle-grade supernatural mystery graphic novel series in which Marietta, an aspiring kid detective investigating her father's sudden disappearance, becomes trapped in a woodland realm filled with ghosts, monsters, and other things that go bump in the night. Kay tweeted out "There's a lot about oddity woods I wish I could share more of! Lots of stuff in the works… future surprises. Was on hiatus, but now that it's with a publisher, it'll be a book series moving forward! Which is great for this type of comic tbh! I'm sooo excited to move to this format."
