50 years ago, the U.S. government was concerned with the Cold War and surviving the nuclear threat, so they built "The Caves"-self-contained cities designed to restart America from scratch. They were populated by volunteers (mostly) and left alone ever since. Things have gotten weird down there, and now one of them is threatening to crack open underneath a small town.
The pacing to Deep State #7 is a little uneven, which works in favor to the uneasy feel Jordan is going for. With new threats popping up everywhere, no situation seems safe. It's not all doom-and-gloom, as Jordan finds ways to release tension through well timed (and topical) humor. Read Full Review
All in all, while this book likely won't linger in your minds for too long, this is an exciting and action-packed issue. Read Full Review
I will say that I like the idea of the program being used to 'push' people towards the control directives. It's much better than the usual mind control tropes and opens up some cool story possibilities"which we will hopefully get to see in the next issue. Read Full Review
This one-eyed Harrow makes quick work of the programmer and then begins to question Brand. He's hoping to have destroyed Control, spins a little tale about Brand's own origins, and how " when you're really good " you get picked to check on Agent Harrow. When Brand attacks the one-eyed Harrow and questions her own partner, asking if he is "entire and effective," he answers, "No." The conspiracies are growing exponentially as things get more and more convoluted with Deep State, which is not necessarily a bad thing. This fast-paced, action-packed issue has the art to match and I personally can't wait to see how far down the rabbit hole this goes. Read Full Review
