The Department of Truth #13 continues to prove this series is a modern masterpiece. The fact that its creators turn the entire main narrative upside down is amazing further cementing the fact that this is filled with surprises, truths, and the embodiment of the unnerving nature of the power of ideas.

Simmonds continues to dazzle me with the art in this issue and the series itself. Every page looks like a painting that should adorn the wall of a gallery. That's how good the art continues to be. Read Full Review

There would be a million ways to draw the story closer to the art. Tynion is constructing a really impressive plot, but it's largely just an outline. There are only a couple of moments in the issue that aren't stories delivered entirely in text. It's a real disappointment as the plot IS interesting. It's just too bad, so much of it is cluttering-up dialogue balloons. Read Full Review

The Department of Truth would be a very good comic if its creative team could keep away from inserting the equivalent of a Wikipedia article into the middle of each and every single article. Read Full Review

A very satisfying issue that ties up Cole's journey with Hawk while also planting seeds for the future of the series. Overall this arc has been more inconsistent than the first but it definitely ended with a banger of an issue.

I fucking adore this series. It is still kind of just Cole being this clueless dipshit wandering around these crazy situations while everyone tells him what’s going on, BUT that doesn’t mean it isn’t enjoyable and well written. The art is incredible and I just really love what Tynion has to say about conspiracies in general.

This book gives me the chills nearly every issue. It’s so good and Simmonds art pairs so well with it.

The potential reveal about Lee was genuinely shocking to me and the fact that it came from an untrustworthy narrator in Hawk added another layer of conspiracy. Between this and Nice House, Tynion is absolutely killing it

Interesting chapter that I thought threw some good twists in there. I just cant say it was done in a way that deserves a better score.

This is a solid comic, but this chosen one shit is so trite. And the amount of explaining in each issue lately is just getting grating. I can read a wiki if I'm that interested in the concept of Satan within the foundations of Christianity, and how that plays out in modern times. I think that's a very interesting subject, that's not the problem. The problem is, you should take that concept and don't waste most of it just reiterating the basics of it. I'm sick of the monologue. How many issues have had Hawk monologue about the creation of this and that idea just to finally arrive at the same point again and again? At least there's a twist at the end.
