Here is volume five of the series this is more of a return to form I feel like compared to the previous volume. The in previous volume we got some backstory for many characters and in this one it continues to build off of that. This book continues to flesh out Sacagawea as character. This book takes some cues from Stephen King's The Mist. All of the Corps of Discovery's skeletons come back to haunt them. Finally Sacagawea's baby is born amid all the chaos. The theme of sacrifice that was introduced in volume three at the arch comes back in this volume as well.

Another excellent collection in a terrific series.
A mysterious fog causes the Corps of Discovery to turn on each other by causing them to hallucinate. Some see their greatest fears, some see their worst sins, but all are affected. Except for Lewis, who uses the scientific method to combat this insidious supernatural threat. Science v. Supernatural! Winner take all! I love stories like this, where characters are smart and resilient.

Manifest Destiny volume 5 continues the plot as Lewis and Clark are holed up in a camp with their group for winter. When a mysterious fog roles in and tensions rise as the fog makes people see things.
That’s all I’ll say for the plot here because I really enjoys the ride. It was something I really needed at the time.
The art is great and I love the watching these characters on their journey.
If you’ve made it this far this is another good entry.
5 stars.

As well written and drawn as this series is, and as clever as the concept is, part of me just can’t give it all of the stars. The storyline and the characters are just so depressing! Some dark books, or dark moments can give you all the feels without making you doubt humanity! However, reading this one AND Deadly Class in one week was probably a bad idea.
Still, a fascinating dark alternative history. Just...a little light at the end of the tunnel?

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself! Almost feels like a Star Trek episode about coming together as a community. Really smart, not overly preachy, statements about how to overcome shame/guilt.
