You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
May 25, 2022Heavy 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

May 25, 2022With 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.
