From the life of an ordinary (?) man
Cole Turner is an FBI agent. In his work, he pays particular attention to conspiracy theories, which – why not – begin to dominate his life. The Department of Truth, mentioned in the title, is an agency whose task, at least in principle, is to suppress all conspiracy theories, or rather to explain what is true and what is not. The way in which James Tynion IV ( Something Kills Kids ) describes the world will surely appeal to fans of the multi-layered comic book – we can read the volume many times and it will never cease to surprise us. It is true that we can easily find some absurd ideas in it, but remembering that it is a certain author’s creation, it will be easier for us to swallow them. The Department of Truth should be considered a modern example of dark sci-fi, with an additionpolitical fiction and sensation. It gives us hope that the best is yet to come, after all, the Department of Truth can also be analyzed taking into account the mini-stories contained in the main plot.
Intrigue follows intrigue
The comic is as much a collaboration between the writer and the illustrator. In the Department of Trutheverything can be enjoyed! The graphics enhance the mood of mystery that accompanies the agent’s investigations. It is true that the authors did not manage to avoid a slightly predictable plot, but against the background of the whole, it does not offend the recipient at all. Martin Simmonds’ artwork rewards a lot and highlights his craftsmanship as an artist. The comic is dominated by two symbolic colors: black and red, often blurred, blurred, which skilfully emphasize the essence of the message. Simmonds tells his own story! It should be emphasized that the authors do not only touch on trivial (from the point of view of the audience at a given age) topics; sometimes they start a machine that is extremely difficult to stop – then the reader himself wonders what is true and what is only an illusion. Doubts probably arise due to the behavior of the protagonist. He’s not a flesh and blood detective
Let it last
The comic is short – only 152 pages, but it is enough to get the reader drawn into the world of conspiracies, verbal skirmishes, and ubiquitous threats. Noteworthy is also the translation by Paulina Braiter, who co-creates a noteworthy work. The Non Stop Comics publishing house has released a real gem that will remain in the reader’s memory for a long time. Fortunately, the continuation of the series is now available!
