Lewis and Clark continue on their sci-fi fantasy adventure, this time meeting the bird-bears. I am still enjoying this series, I think the art is colorful and the stories are interesting. Lewis is getting a little frayed in his emotinal state trying to calm the crew since they are not keen on getting killed one way or another. The main story revolves around the small blue bird they meet that are getting terrorized my a Vameter, something that resemble a vampire that steals heads. the side storie...

SUPER FAST REVIEW:Okay I’m kinda annoyed now. Like... what the fuck was this? I loved the first 2 volumes but then I read this volume.So, okay, maybe I’m just being a bit harsh since I loved the first 2 volumes so much. This does still include some fantastic artwork. I also found the story to still be somewhat interesting and towards the end there’s some good bits of action and gore. Oh and don’t forget the suspense, it is very unpredictable.Unfortunately for most of the volume it’s very slow. T...

Whoa! This is worth it just for the shocking cliffhanger. It has me shaking my head and the sad disregard for others that the concept of Manifest Destiny supported in real life!Creepy, thrilling, action packed, and thought-provoking - the ultimate What-If of American Historical Fiction continues. Seems like more of a transition volume than the previous two, but still the story stays interesting – introducing new characters and new storylines. And, just when you think you know where it is going,

This started off a bit slow and took a turn that seemed a bit silly at the midpoint, but the ending made up for all of that. It raises a very interesting question: is man just another one of the monsters in a world of monsters?

The road to destruction is paved with good intentions. The Lewis and Clark Expedition is on a hell bent course and as a cautionary tale of the ramifications of colonialism, this tale is truly doomed as is the expedition. Just close your eyes and enjoy the ride.

I thought this volume was a little weak. Didn't care for the talk bird things.

I read volume 2 of this series and I have been chomping at the bit waiting for this volume to be released. The wait was well worth it. Matthew Roberts continues to deliver some outstanding art. There really aren't any new characters in this issue, other than a few flashbacks, so there isn't really anything new brought to the table in terms of clothing. The setting is different, but other than the boat and the arch in this issue, everything else is a forest setting. There aren't any new buildings...

This series keeps taking it up a notch. This volume is no exception - each volume they face a terrifying predator, and this one is no exception. Great art and constant moral ambiguity round it out - incredible.

Another gruesome adventure into the alternative history of Lewis and Clark. The artwork continues to be gorgeous and gross all at the same time. 😂 The ending was disheartening, but honestly not the least bit a far cry from the true dark history of the founding and expansion of the USA. The introduction of each bizarre creature in every volume is my favorite part of this series and so (view spoiler)[to see the destruction of a rather innocent albeit dangerous population of creatures just because

This series continues to impress. Lewis and Clark continue thier fantasy adventure in the West where they fight creepy monsters. Here they come across these bird / Ewok things and fight Jeepers Creepers. Hopefully, we'll begin to find out the deal with these arches and where all these monsters came from soon. Yowsa, that ending was surprising. Matthew Roberts's monster designs are fantastic (even if the vampere is a complete ripoff of Jeepers Creepers). Owen Gieni's coloring gives vivid life to

Volume 3 finally takes the leap that I was hoping this series would take into stranger and darker territories. This one was pretty great.

Compelling! Maybe slightly less graphic and visceral than the first two. More backstory given, which was very interesting and disturbing. I didn't expect this volume to hit me in the feels but it did...

Lewis, Clark, Sacagawea and the crew continue on their way into the wilderness that is the western half of 1804 America - and who’da thunk it, they discover another dang arch! Which of course only means one thing: horrible things are on the way! This time it’s a vampire bird monster called the Vameter and a group of small bear/bird hybrids called Fezrons. I do like Manifest Destiny but, three volumes in, it’s already starting to feel formulaic in that each book is a “monster of the week” kinda d...

I thought the creatures in this story were a bit gimmicky but the ending was brutal. Amazing art work as always.

Manifest Destiny meets Jeepers Creepers and channels Andrew Jackson on a sapient species of humanoid bird. Odin's taint, this got dark. O_OBut good. It was appropriate. The American frontier period was vile as well as heroic and good on Dingess for capturing that.

For volume 3, Lewis and Clark and the gang meet up with some flying creatures. This seems to be heading in the same formulaic direction as the rest, with our heroes needing to wipe out more hostile monsters, but the little blue Fezron are a bit different once you get to know them. For one, they talk, and conveniently they speak English, though it’s not called that. The dangerous being is the Vameter, another flyer, and it is a wicked one indeed, leading to some tense moments at the end. The endi...

Disturbing, bloody, ahistorical, and yet some how I could not put it down... crazy weird book but fun, excited to read the next one, not sure I recommend but I did enjoy it.Second time through: still very good

I'm growing more and more uncomfortable with how this series depicts indigeneity. If you know anything about race history in the US, you have to know that depicting indigenous people as part animal or giving animals cultural markers of indigenous people is a no-win situation. In issue two, there were actual minotaur indians; hear, the bird/bear creatures are tribal (the chief wears a feather headdress for chrissake), cannibals, and drunkards. It's a mostly fun and interesting storyline, but it's...

Third volume in the series. The main "monster" in this volume seems to be the bird version of an Ewok. Some of the characters seem less complex and more stereotypical and almost drawn more for comedic effect. I was going to give this a 3 star rating up until the last 4 pages - when the story turns very dark indeed. The question of who the real monsters are becomes increasingly clear. And it's not an accident that as the monsters become more human-like the humans become more monster-like. Looking...

Initially this reads like a fairly straight progression from the first two volumes, with the increasingly fraught personnel of Lewis and Clark’s expedition edging ever close to mutiny at the prospect of investigating another ominous archway, even before the inevitable weird monster attacks. And then things get stranger. And by the end…(view spoiler)[well, at first I was a little concerned about the political implications of this series, with the idea of the white explorers finding America’s grea...
