Manifest Destiny #17

Manifest Destiny #17 brings another unsettling chapter of Chris Dingess and Matthew Roberts' reimagining of the Lewis and Clark expedition to Image's Skybound imprint. Matthew Roberts' cover is immediately arresting — a steely frontiersman in a wide-brimmed hat stands knife in hand over the massive, fallen head of a monstrous white lion-like creature, a fiery orange sky burning behind him through the treeline. Owen Gieni's color work gives the scene a gorgeous, foreboding warmth that makes the wilderness feel both beautiful and deeply threatening.
