Manifest Destiny #2

Manifest Destiny's second issue from Image/Skybound serves up a haunting still life that says everything about the dangers lurking in the untamed American wilderness — a moss-covered rifle planted like a grave marker into a human skull, both slowly being reclaimed by creeping vines, wild mushrooms, and delicate purple blossoms. Matthew Roberts renders this eerie tableau with remarkable detail, making nature itself feel like the series' most formidable threat. Chris Dingess's frontier horror saga is already staking out territory unlike anything else on shelves in 2013.
