Manifest Destiny Vol. 1: Flora & Fauna

Everyone knows the story of Lewis & Clark,  it is one of the great tales of American history.  But for the majority of knowing public they only know of the story in the broadest sense.  They know that Lewis & Clark traveled with Sacagawea from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean, but the rest is sort of a mystery unless you go digging for the info.  Such is the premise of Manifest Destiny, in which the general knowledge is known about Lewis & Clark but that just serves as the foundation for this new tale by Chris Dingess & Matthew Roberts.  Chris Dingess has crafted a scary almost alien frontier for Lewis & Clark's expedition to travel through but hes has also given them a secondary assignment to mapping out & exploring the region.  Matthew Roberts art is phenomenal not in characters per-say but in the way he creates the landscape I really love the way the scenery is rendered.  This is another awesome book from Image Comics, the place to go for something different.
