Image Firsts: Manifest Destiny

In 2014, Image Comics launched Manifest Destiny under its "Image Firsts" initiative, a one-issue sampler created by writer Chris Dingess and artist Matthew Roberts that captured the series' core premise: a gritty, alternate-history reimagining of the Lewis and Clark expedition, where the explorers battle monstrous creatures and supernatural horrors as they chart the American frontier. This single issue serves as an accessible entry point, showcasing the darkly humorous, action-packed tone and lush, detailed artwork that define the ongoing series.
