"Nothing cuts through the quiet of night like screams of panic and pain." Stranded on the river, Lewis & Clark's crew discover their place in America's food chain...where man is no longer its greatest predator…
Despite being way too scared than I should have while reading this book, I'm not sure I can really call that a ‘Bad Thing', and it would be unfair for me to lower my score just because I don't like big bugs. Manifest Destiny has been a wonderful comic book, and you can tell the creators have some confidence and are willing to push some boundaries as the title continues. This means things are not only getting better in this book, but it's going to keep getting better. This ish may have been a departure from the series thus far; the creators took a bit, and gave a bit; but different, in this case, was definitely good. Read Full Review

A good build-up for something explosive that will soon happen Read Full Review
The adventure continues to expand as Lewis' grand plan to free the stuck boat is to harpoon the beast in the water Moby Dick style. Using the creature as a horse to his carriage, this should be a flawless plan where no one will die. As he has already said, "Manpower is a precious commodity." Next issue might be the point where the bugs are defeated and the boat is free, or where a new horror is introduced and the expedition team is shaken further. Read Full Review
The artwork is still pretty solid, as we've come to expect this series to have. The characters look good, the layouts are decent, the coloring is gorgeous, the designs and imagery are great, and it does creepy and disgusting very well. For instance, the full page of Clark testing out his insecticide on a bug looks incredible; so well detailed and very memorable. This is the kind of example that really shows why this book has some most underrated artwork of any of the Image books out there. Read Full Review
Felt like filler. Several pages of bug repellent
