A fun and intriguing volume with potential. The Department of Truth is a paranoid thriller about conspiracy theories. The story concerns an FBI agent who gets recruited into a classic struggle between secret societies. In this case, the battle is over defining consensual truth and reality. The book is deliberately obscure so far. Most of it occurs within our protagonist's perspective, and he's confused, manipulated, and also addled by a mysterious childhood trauma. So far Department riffs on stories around the JFK assassination, school shootings, the flat Earth, Barack Obama's birth, and the Satanic panic of the 1980s-90s. I'm reminded of Warren Ellis' Planetary, which similarly posed dueling cabals across individual episodes, each dedicated to a specific story or subgenre. The art is very much in the mode of Bill Sinkiewicz, and I enjoy that. I know it irks others, so check out some samples before you purchase.
