This comic was great and it works very well. Everything worked me finally with both the story and the art in this issue. Read Full Review

Charretier does a great job with the art in the issue. The style works perfectly for both the modern day characters as well as the narrative being played out in the past. Read Full Review

When brought together, The Department of Truth #6 delivers an enjoyable, if unexpected, detour. While I eagerly await the continuation of the primary narrative, this glimpse into the past helps emphasize the power that the truth has had over human history. Read Full Review

We get an interlude from the main storyline in The Department of Truth #6, but an important one nonetheless. We delve into Medical history and learn how far back the conspiracy culture of the series goes. A book that will drag you into its story and smack you with a rather illuminating revelation at the end too. A revelation that will have a part to play in the present. Read Full Review

"Department of Truth" #6 gave a fun side story that had a change in pace and still continues to deliver more questions at the end of each issue. Read Full Review

This issue hints at the presence of the Illuminati and dabbles in some fanciful weirdness involving the creation of Anno Domini and the apparent falsification of Charlemagne. Read Full Review

As poor a fit as Chartiers work seems its not actually bad. And if theres going to be an issue that isnt rendered by Simmonds, it really NEEDS to be an issue that isnt set in the same time and space as the rest of the series has been thus far. Tynion and company have done a fairly good job of lowering a less-than-satisfying issue into an otherwise breathtaking series thats been rolling along with a lot of appeal to this point. With this brief, little flashback finished, it will be interesting to see where things go in the future. Read Full Review

The Department of Truth has a deep and intriguing mythos. This issue is a further exploration of that, however it feels like overkill at this point. Confining this type of world-building to fill-in issues may be the way to go to maintain momentum and keep the story going at a brisk pace. Read Full Review

Cool, cool.

The weakest so far, the art was a bit of a miss for me, it only fitted the tone when we were in the Roman times, but overall this "deviation" story was interesting, filling in some backstory, the plot was very well written and it fits the overall DoT storyline.

This issue is good but definitely a step down from previous chapters. A younger Oswald reads into the Department's history with a story about a supposed cover up surrounding the truth of Charlemagne. A nice little side story digging into the past of this war over what is "truth". But, honestly, I want this series to remain focused on Cole and his exploits. Simmonds' art is also sorely missed this issue.

I like the idea of it. Its highly interesting. I think the art was an interesting choice for this issue. It didnt give me the effect it could have had with more serious art.

This was good, I just wish more happened.

Lee reads a story. This series still doesn't have a character or storyline that drives the plot. The 2 main cover characters are still a complete mystery. I will not be reading this going forward. I've found nothing enjoyable in this except the plot.
