Is anyone here reading the comic book series Manifest Destiny by Carl Dingess and Matthew Roberts. Basically, it's the story of Lewis and Clark discovering America. But The America they investigate is a far cry from the one in our history books.
I'm curious as to whether the Author is going to make this a 'secret history' of North America or an outright Alternate History.
Basically the plot of the story is that millennia before the American Settlers or even the Natives came to North America, some lost civilization (Alien? Ancient Astronaut? Atlanteans? Hasn't been explained yet, and may never be explained) set up these 'arches' all over the western interior of the North American continent, and through the portals these arches generated out came all sorts of monstrosities.
Just a Sample of what this has them dealing with.
A Big-Ass Prehistoric Lovecraft Frog.
Something I call the "John Carpenter' Fungus.
MinoCentaur
and that's just scratching the surface.
All in all though, the setup doesn't really do much with the 'Alternate America' setup, although the Author said he does plan to do something more with it in the future. It's basically a 'monster of the volume' setup, with each volume having Lewis and Clark and company dealing with the increasing madness of not just the increasingly horrifying nihilistic implications of what they discover, but the sheer ruthlessness of an Literal Alien America wilderness.
What do you guys think of this?
