Manifest Destiny #25

This milestone 25th issue of Chris Dingess and Matthew Roberts's frontier horror series delivers a cover that earns its landmark number — three armed figures, dressed in frontier gear, stand triumphantly atop a massive mound composed entirely of monstrous creatures: tentacled beasts, winged demons, and countless grotesque faces pressed together beneath them, all bathed in Owen Gieni's striking purple-and-sunset-orange palette. The image captures Manifest Destiny's singular appeal — the collision of American wilderness exploration with something far more terrifying lurking beneath the surface. Matthew Roberts's linework is at its densest and most rewarding here, rewarding a close look at every squirming, snarling creature piled below those resolute survivors.
