Creative series, but be warned that it is a bit scarier than the cover suggests! The group is outnumbered in every way possible, and in this one a terrifying frog gets in their way. Looking forward to Vol. 3!
The fantastic and horror filled journey of Lewis and Clark continues as the survivors from warly encounters with unknown creatures and monsters in the new world continue to shock, fascinate, harm and kill members of the expeditionary team.Fascinating and compelling to follow.
I bought this book immediately upon finishing the first one and I'm glad I did, as it's even better.The story is superb and the characters are distinct individuals with their own agendas and attitudes, backstories and behaviors. Clark also becomes more well-rounded in this volume, as do the people we met near the end of the previous book, especially the women. The give-and-take between Capt. Lewis and Mrs. Boniface feels like exchanges between real people. This could easily be a novel.The art is...
This series is so easy to read, without dragging or being dull. It isn't bogged down by like seven storylines going on at once, which I feel like happens so much with comics these days.
Graphic Novel published by Image Comics. The ragtag team of Lewis & Clark, along with Sacagawea, continue to venture on only to stumble upon new insanity and horrifying creatures. You will not look at insecticide the same way ever again. Lewis' dairy once again reveals their dire fate. The narrative also deepens here. Looking forward to where this is all going.
Chris Dingess' and Matthew Roberts's frontier history meets Cthulhoid horror comic continues to be one of Image's more straightforwardly entertaining series. Beyond the high concept pitch this is a satisfying adventure comic, no less and not much more: much of this second volume is spent with the Lewis and Clark expedition's crew trapped by a suitably squamous amphibian beast, which allows Dingess to develop and complicate his cast a little more, though makes for a less exciting few issues than
Lewis and Clark continue their expedition across the Louisiana Purchase to catalog and destroy the Lovecraftian horrors that dwell there. The art is amazing and the tension and horror in the story keeps the reader engaged. However, the monsters in the second volume are not as crazy as the ones in the first volume.
In the immortal words of the celebrated thespian, Keanu Reeves . . ."Woah"This series continues to impress with volume two. It is the perfect mix of historical fiction and sci-fi horror. It is suspenseful. It is funny. It is gruesome. A little part of me really wishes the exploration of the American West was just like this.I'm still loving the art. For the most part, the panels have a bit of a sepia aura to add to the historical feel - as if pulled straight from the journals of the Lewis and Cla...
Manifest Destiny continues to exceed expectations. In this outing, the Lewis & Clark expedition is beached on the river by another of the mysterious arches, then besieged by a Ford Pinto-sized Cthulhu-frog (Amphibia) and eagle-sized mosquito creatures (Insecta).There is an unsettling rape subplot that to my surprise was handled plausibly and satisfyingly. And in a way that acknowledges the complexity of the expedition's circumstances. Among other points, it is blackly appropriate that (view spoi...
I generally try to wait a while after reading one volume of something that I like before jumping into the next volume. If I don't, I'll end up flying through it and have to wait a while for the next volume to come. After reading this one so soon after discovering the series, I have to now wait until Feb. 2016 for the next volume to come out. I may end up having to reread both this and the first volume again to keep me sane until then.Matthew Roberts is still the artist on this series. As with vo...
A very compelling, visceral continuation of the first volume. Unique story and engaging characters! Very graphic and visceral (still, even more than the first volume). The human element was at times more grotesque than the monsters.
A step down from the first volume, with a giant frog and giant mosquitoes as the villains this time around. Not as thrilling as the monsters in volume 1, but visually they are awesome creatures. Slow as this one moved, it’s still an entertaining volume and I can’t see what Lewis and Clark and the gang come upon next.
SUPER FAST REVIEW:Very interesting historic fiction tale with horror elements that work for any horror fan!It’s a very intense story that’s not too predictable with lots of creatures, creepiness and gore.This volume seems to have some Aliens inspired elements (but that works for me as Aliens is a film I love).Highly recommended!5/5
The art work is so detailed in this , even the faces of the characters, let alone the large panels.
This series keeps surprising me. The idea behind this series is fascinating and I love it! I admit that I liked the first volume more than this one, but I did like the way that the story progressed. Another story that is not for the padawans, but adults that are into science fiction and speculative fiction will thoroughly enjoy. I can't wait to see what happens next and what creatures are encountered.
Lewis and Clark continue their treacherous mission through the uncharted new world after the events of the first book tell them there’s more than just native Americans out there waiting for them. As well as their crew, made up of soldiers and criminals, they’re joined by the French survivors of the La Charette settlement and Sacagawea, an Indian warrior and guide. As they sail downriver, their craft gets snagged on an underwater arch and they’re stranded, surrounded by a giant man-eating frog an...
One of the craziest books published by Image and it is genius. We continue the secret history of the Lewis and Clark Expedition as they document all the crazy Lovecraftian monsters found within the Louisiana Purchase. In this volume, the expedition's boat has gotten stuck in the river and must deal with the horrors found both underneath the waters and onshore.
Really intriguing sci-fi based on a bit of history. I really enjoyed volume 1 and volume 2 is just as entertaining. Lewis and Clark are traveling on and get stuck in the river which a giant monster frog is hunting them down. Matthew Roberts has a clean style that suits the story well. The writing is what shines as its detailed and is able to transport you to that time period. The journal entries are a nice touch that really bring the story to life.
Book blurb: Lewis, Clark and the surviving members of their expedition continue westward across America, only to learn there is nowhere to run on a river. Collects Manifest Destiny Issues #7-12.This continues to be a fun graphic novel series about the alternative history of the Lewis and Clark expedition. There are more monstrous creatures, and dangers abound both on land and on water. We know that they'll make it through, but finding out how is half the fun. The art continues to be wonderful, a...
Hairier and scarier. A tad more revealed about purpose and motive. Makes me wonder about the RL Meriwether Lewis. Color me intrigued and returning for the next volume.
