Matthew's Reviews > Manifest Destiny, Vol. 2: Amphibia & Insecta

In the immortal words of the celebrated thespian, Keanu Reeves . . .

"Woah"



This series continues to impress with volume two. It is the perfect mix of historical fiction and sci-fi horror. It is suspenseful. It is funny. It is gruesome. A little part of me really wishes the exploration of the American West was just like this.



I'm still loving the art. For the most part, the panels have a bit of a sepia aura to add to the historical feel - as if pulled straight from the journals of the Lewis and Clark expedition. But, then, every few pages there is a full page image with intense colors and dramatic presentation highlighting one of the key horrors being encountered. Great stuff!



This title is just great, creepy, horror-filled fun. If you are looking for a graphic novel that is a complete escape to enjoyable reading, give this one a shot.
