America was built on a lie that's never quite come true. The cracks in that idealistic vision have inspired dangerous people to do horrible things in the name of an America that's never really existed. Hawk Harrison knows the genuine story of this country, and he's ready to give Cole Turner a history lesson.
I've read some truly brilliant comics this year, but Department of Truth is sitting right at the very top of that list. And with four months left of the year, its going to take something very, very special to knock it off first place. Read Full Review
The Department of Truth #12 is another great chapter of a series that is quite unlike anything else I've ever read. This is the kind of story that messes with your head, but in a way that leaves you eager for the next issue to do mess with your head even more. Read Full Review

Simmonds is amazing as an artist and this story showcases that in spades. Not only did I enjoy the throwback style in the beginning of the issue, but the seamless transition to the stark reality of the present was brilliantly done. Read Full Review
The story by James Tynion IV is something else. I feel like this book answers a lot of questions and sets up a ton more. Just the way I like things. The art is okay but it takes me out of the experience as it always seems to do. Read Full Review
I'm glad that the comic is paying off some of its storylines and this is easily one of the best issues of the series to date. Read Full Review
So Cole and Hawk are going to Milwaukee in Black Helicopters that only sort of exist. This can safely be mentioned at the end of the review as the revelations in the issue dont really have anything to do with the direction of the series, which ends up being a bit of a problem for it. The central action of the series isnt centrally squared on the main conflicts. The stories that are being told in the text ARE interesting, but theyre not whats going on in the accompanying art, which makes for a bit of a disconnect between text and graphics. Read Full Review
More exposition on the nature of belief and tulpas, but after twelve issues it's beginning to feel repetitive. Thankfully Martin Simmonds' art saves the day once more. Read Full Review
Simmonds' art continues to amaze me. He has managed to swoop me in thorugh several tones with great sucess. It's so very well constructed, Tynion can use this as a tool to keep things engaging no matter the story plot ahah Powerhouse team! Good to see the story back on the bigger scope of things, Hawk acts as we all thought he would, things were set in motion for Cole, so now we wait for the bang!
I absolutely adore this book. Simmonds art is so versatile and sets such a perfect atmosphere for the story Tynion is telling. Feels like we’re getting into some of the larger narrative at play too, which is exciting after some shorter vignettes.
Yet another exposition-heavy issue but Simmonds art continues to amaze and the twist at the end was genuinely unexpected. I'm hoping next issue will make the getting through the slower parts of this arc worth it.
I liked this a lot, moreso when it was explaining more conspiracy rather than when it was focused on the plot. I don't really like the twist. This is worrisome, but I'll keep the faith for now that Tynion can keep it interesting.
Some parts were just a little confusing but overall a pretty decent issue. The twist is interesting but, it kind of felt out uninspired for some reason.
