The Department of Truth, Vol 1

Couldn't possibly stress enough how much I adore this series. The writing is James Tynion IV at his absolute best, a culmination of all the work he's done over the years. The artwork is breathtaking and reminiscent of the very best work done at Vertigo and the like.

In general it reminds me of the type of book you'd have read during the early Vertigo days, fantasy and horror in it's rawest form bleeding into real world fears. The artwork and prose is hypnotic at times, sending you to a place where the line between fact and fiction is blurred. Of course truth is an incredibly important piece to this series, in my opinion it deals with all that rather well, never feeling overtly disrespectful. The School Shooting issue boiled my blood, feeling more relevant than ever. I also must confess my morbid curiosity in the Q conspiracy dived into in Issue 4, I felt they handled that well given how recent and scary it still is.
