Manifest Destiny #47

Two figures — a child clinging to the back of a woman dressed in white — stand as the sole human presence against a churning, supernatural wall of teal and grey water that seems ready to swallow them whole. Matthew Roberts' cover for this 2022 Image series captures the quiet terror and strange wonder that has defined Manifest Destiny throughout its run, with colorist Owen Gieni lending the massive wave an almost otherworldly, swirling luminescence. Chris Dingess's reimagining of the Lewis and Clark expedition continues to find fresh ways to make the frontier feel vast and genuinely threatening.
