    Manifest Destiny - Skybound - Chris Dingess, Matthew Roberts

    in Modern Age Comic Books

    My long responses:

     

     

    I leafed through the first copy of hoax hunters and it was horrid...MD is much more entertaining.

    Hoax Hunters has a great story. but. at times, it's not constructed well into issues or story arcs. A good example was issue #0 and issue #1. They just threw all that story, character build-up, etc into a mere ~50 pages.

    One huge bright side for HH was issue #9. I loved the art. It reminded me of Team Fortress 2. And it was constructed extremely well. The faux ACM television commercials (Five Ghosts, Revival, Morning Glories) were great. And I found the double issue component to be incredible.

    But, the worst part is the art in issues 10/11/12. It is horrendous.

    Manifest Destiny #1 and MD #2 were written well and, unlike HH, constructed very well.

     

    If they are going to follow a bit with history, they need a female indian guide....not really that contrived. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacagawea was around a lot earlier than Hoax Hunters.

     

     

    This is what I was trying to get at with my prediction:

    Both stories (HH & MD) are as follows

    A group of people have recurring supernatural encounters with beings unknown to the greater society. The group needs to investigate each instance and find a cause. The group end up saving & inevitably teaming up with one of their supernatural encounters from the first story arch.

    If my prediction is true, that new team member is a Native American woman in MD (and Murder in HH).

    All that said. I enjoyed Manifest Destiny. I enjoyed MD 1/2 much more than I enjoyed HH 0/1/2.

    All I meant was I am already invested in HH (a bit of money & time in reading it) and if my predictions are true & the stories are that similar, I probably won't have MD in my pull list.

     

     

     

     

    My Too long didn't read response (TL;DR):

     

     

    Hoax Hunters is a tough read. I enjoyed reading Manifest Destiny more.

    If the two stories are similar, I'll stay with HH as I am already invested in it a bit.

     

     

    HH is awesome. It's get much better as the arc develops.
