Manifest Destiny - Skybound - Chris Dingess, Matthew Roberts 1 1

Also, the variants have to be much more rare than 1 to 1. None of my local ships had any, (ottley or sketch), and they ordered a lot of this book.

 

Very few on eBay as well....

Two of the larger shops in my area didn't order many at ALL.

 

One got in 5 copies of the normal cover and the other maybe had 8 copies.. No Ottley variants.

What else did it then, then?

 

If every animal you blasted beared your name....

 

I hope someone that knows to use proper grammar takes a hard look at issue 2.

First issue was ok. For whatever reason the art style just feels like it doesn't quite fit the tone of the story to me but the story itself was decent. I'll keep reading the first couple of issues to see what direction the book takes but my pull list is getting close to reaching its limit so I can see myself dropping it unless it really takes off.

[krighton]

I like the feel of the comic, it felt like the time period they were presenting.

 

That's half the battle...then again I enjoy old Classics Illustrated and not many like that style of comic presentation.

[krighton]

looks like the Manifest Destiny sketch auction ended early...must have had a bribe on the side.

[cbalroman]

Skybound just tweeted that the sketch variant to #1 will be a Long Beach Con exclusive. Limited to 250. $10 each.

[krighton]

well it's been an ebay exclusive up to this point.

[jjeanius]

ha. seller should have let it run in that case.

[artistlost]

Anyone going to be going to Long Beach that could pick up a copy for a Canadian boardie?

[ranx]

isn't the writer involved in TV -script writing or something...making this a better shot at a TV show?

[kapzilla]

Yeah I also would appreciate a copy if anyone's going to LBCC. I'm in the States

[manetteska]

well, that arch certainly looks like the one in St. Louis......maybe that's where it came from.

 

Yes, that is the first thing that sprang to mind when I saw that in the comic. However, the Arch is (relatively) current and definitively human-made..

 

What I had in mind were things that we take for granted as being "natural" but are not.

 

This doesn't have to be the entire basis for the story, but would provide some nice "a-ha" moments.

YES YOU SHOULD!

[cbaileypacker]

I think this book will be "re-writing" history a lot, with things like the "REAL" inspiration for the St Louis arch, ect, ect.

[krighton]

yes you should attend....i'll take 2 please.

[atrocity-migration]

I want one too!

[kapzilla]

Haha looks like you should go Captain and grab all the copies for us!!!!
