Rating: 4.5/5 – The untold secrets behind the Lewis & Clark Expedition…

It’s going to be hard to give too many specifics in this review without giving away plot points and scenes that really should be experienced in the reading of this great issue.  This series has the makings of being the next great Image series that’s getting all the buzz from fans once they start hearing from people who’ve read it.

Charles Dingess is onto something here, exploring the weird untold secrets of the American frontier as lushly illustrated by Matthew Roberts.  Roberts has created some really striking images in this issue; the opening splash page and the splash on page 6 are stunning to name just two.  The interactions between the characters, Lewis’ journal entries, and the pacing of this issue all served to draw me into the world Dingess has re-imagined here.

If Dingess & Matthews can keep up the story momentum by putting their issues out on time and of this quality, I can see this series cracking my Top 10 by the end of the 1st story arc.
