An interesting premise - Lewis & Clark explore the New World and there are monsters? The art was amazing. Some graphic and visceral imagery. I am very curious to see where this goes!(I liked this more on re-read. Very gritty and disturbing!)

I have not heard anyone talk about this, but like why??? I mean SACAGAWEA

This volume tells the real story about Captain Meriwether Lewis and Second Lieutenant William Clarks mission into the west. President Thomas Jefferson has sent them out not just to explore, they are also going to catalog exotic life and get rid of all the monsters that are standing in the way for the expansion of the United States.I thought that I was just going to read perhaps 50 pages of the volume then sleep and continue the next day. Instead, I read through all six issues, then I could sleep...

I think the trend started with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies – classic stories/characters/historical figures being mashed into pulpy, dispensable books. From there we got Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, and so on, to name a couple. Manifest Destiny is similar in that the pitch is essentially “Lewis & Clark: Monster Hunters”, but it’s much better than the aforementioned dross (and probably why the creators wisely went with Manifest Destiny for a title!). Th...

Yet another great image book. Think H.G. Wells's The Lost World meets Lewis and Clark. What if the Lewis and Clark expedition actually encountered monsters throughout their travels?

I thoroughly enjoyed this. It's like that film Master and Commander, mixed with Jason and the Argonauts ha!I look forward to reading volume 2!

Lewis & Clark meet H. P. Lovecraft, as the explorers begin their mission into the wilds of the Louisiana Territory and beyond. But rather than just dysentery, starvation, and unfriendly Indians, they also have to face man-eating buffalo minotaurs and a strange, sentient flora that takes over all fauna -- including humans. Chris Dingess gives us gives us what is, at one level, a simple horror tale, but looks to be much deeper than that. L&C both have their own secrets, and share some as well -- t...

Manifest Destiny is a Lovecraftian take on the Lewis & Clark expedition, with monsters and mayhem galore. It's akin to the Weird Western genre simply because it's set in the right place, but it's more like Robert Charles Wilson's Darwinia or Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World, where explorers venture into a strange and hostile landscape that is utterly alien to what they know.The story is quite compelling and Dingess manages to sketch differing personalities and attitudes of the various charact...

Did I just meet my new favorite graphic novel? Yes . . . I think I did!Holy cow! Volume one of Manifest Destiny was so freaking entertaining I cannot wait for more. I gobbled this up faster than any graphic novel volume I can remember. If the future volumes are even half as entertaining, I am in for a treat.So far, this graphic novel is the perfect mix of historical fiction and fantasy/horror. And, basing fantasy/horror on the expedition of Lewis and Clark is super creative and very unique in my...

You know what I remember about U.S. History class? The shape of the girl’s ass that sat 2 seats in front of me and wore bike shorts (the 80’s answer to yoga pants) every…single…day…..and stealing the answers to the final exam out of the teacher’s desk to pass the class by the skin of my teeth. I guarantee that if History class had been more like Manifest Destiny this dip-shit would’ve gotten at least a “B” and probably had a lot fewer embarrassing erections. Manifest Destiny Vol.1: Flora and Fa

SUPER FAST REVIEW:Lewis and Clark discovering monsters and plant-zombie-things sounds stupid at first but holy shit, it’s actually good. What sounds ridiculous ends up being a very intense, twisted and at times, scary historic fiction tale that is a must-read for horror fans. Excellent writing and artwork.Highly recommended!5/5

I am so sick now of zombie stories. I am one of the originals, who saw The Night of the Living Dead when it was actually shown in theaters and I loved it. And then when it comes to irony and satire and zombies, I laughed hard at Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and thought that was clever but that was enough for me. I dipped into others like that, and thought, okay, that joke was funny once. This one seems to be along those same lines, Lewis and Clark and Zombies and other monsters, a history and...

This was great! A perfect mix of history and monsters. The art was beautiful. Really keen to read the others in the series.

I love a great blend of history and mythological creatures. Read this book only if: 1) Sacajawea is not only kickass---she's a badass woman/child. I wanna know her backstory---so very badly. :] 2) Flora plant monsters might be more exciting than your typical zombie...3)Minotaur is not the same as a buftaur---buffalo-taur---does anyone out there have a good name for that beast? There's so much to love about a good adventure story. A good adventure story with a mix of interesting characters, plots...

Before I begin this review, I have a small confession. I love table top gaming, and was an avid paper-and-dice gamer when I was younger and could get enough people together to run a campaign. Beyond the archetypal Dungeons & Dragons was my all-time favorite RPG, Deadlands. One of the great things about Deadlands was its inimitable flavor. It was a "Weird Western" and it was fully committed to its theme -- the game play involved not only dice, but decks of poker cards and poker chips, for example...

Lewis & Clark in a nascent America, fighting a slew of grotesque monsters while on their famous journey west. What’s not to like? A fun and fast-paced opening to a promising series.

A rather good start to a new series. Lots of potential, I think.

In 1804, a party of Army volunteers and shifty criminals was dispatched by President Thomas Jefferson on an exploratory expedition to the Pacific Ocean. The famous Lewis and Clark undertaking. In this gorgeous, inventive retelling, their challenges include swamp things, biso-mino-centaurs, and persistently incipient mutiny.This was fun. It captures a danger-and-determination pioneering spirit and seamlessly blends in elements of visionary fantasy horror. Exceeded my expectations.

Pure imagination. Interesting premise, addicting plot - and characters hold depth. Disney level talent on all fronts, but not a Disney tale ;)
