‘The Department of Truth # 7’ (review)

Written by James Tynion IV
Art by Tyler Boss
Published by Image Comics

 

This is the best comic book series that writer James Tynion IV has done in his career thus far. He has created a wholly unique book that that is unlike any comic book out there. It is original and well thought out and I feel like the universe here has only just started to expand.

This issue is another one of those deep dives into the history of the “Secret Archives.”

This is meant to seemingly take a few moments outside of the normal story and give us a little bit of history.

This time, the history lesson involved is one of the oldest science fiction tropes: Flying saucers.

The story here feels a bit like an old X-Files episode. There have been sightings of UFO’s and people are panicking.

Can it be so? Have strange beings from another planet come down to invade our earth?

This is where we find ourselves with this story.

But hold up, there is more to it than that!

There are strange men in black suits trying to cover up their existence. Who are these strange men? Are they responsible for the flying saucers? Are the flying saucers even real?

This issue goes to some truly strange places.

This script is very good. Tynion has a passion for this project and it shows. The art by Tyler Boss is great and works perfectly. I hope he works on for more issues after this. This is another good issue of this series.

It is consistently entertaining and constantly surprising and I am enjoying it very much.

RATING: A
