NEW STORY ARC
Co-creator MARTIN SIMMONDS returns for the explosive new arc of the Eisner-nominated hit! For decades, THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH battled a secret war against its Soviet counterpart, THE MINISTRY OF LIES. Now Cole Turner will have to face the consequences of his predecessors as the dark actions of the past unfurl before him...
Heavy conversations between people who know more about current events and the truth? This tends to be the type of thing that works better with actors. In the course of the 18 issues of the series, Tynion, Simmonds, and company have solidly delivered a story that has a very distinct pulse and mood that wouldnt feel quite right in any other format. Adapted for stage, screen, or podcast, Department of Truth wouldnt quite have the same resonance it does on the comics page. A great deal of that has to do with Simmonds specific vision, which works quite well in the 18th issue of the series. Read Full Review
Simmonds delivers some brilliantly disturbing imagery throughout the issue. The style continues to be one of the reasons I look forward to each issue. Read Full Review
With the premise of the series firmly beaten into our heads over the last 17 issues, the series can more fully get into a meatier plot beyond "conspiracy theory has far more sinister connotations that can impact reality." Read Full Review
It's nice to get back to Coles story. I think this issue was pretty good in getting us back to present day bit, lacked the punch some of the better issues have.
