‘The Department of Truth #6’ (review)

Written by James Tynion IV 
Art by Elsa Charretier
Published by Image Comics

This comic book has been pretty awesome. I have to say that the one weak element thus far has been the art. I have found the art to be rather impenetrable. It isn’t that it is bad, it just that it isn’t for me.

Luckily, this issue has an artist who I really do enjoy drawing it.

Elsa Charretier is the artist here and I really love her work. It fits really well with the story too. Right from the very first page, I was drawn into the book like I hadn’t been before.

This is a good thing too, as a lot of important things are in this issue.

This issue traces the origins of the Department of Truth itself.

Where does it come from?

How was it formed?

We get to see a lot of revelations and get a a lot of history.

A lot of it even dates back to the Middle Ages, in fact!

So, we learn a lot about that. We also learn about a lot of other things related to the Department. We find out a bunch about the Illuminati. We see details about the Inquisition.

There is also something out there called The Phantom Time Hypothesis that could be a major problem coming up.

We also begin to see a bigger picture and how it all may connect to the present days.

James Tynion IV is writing a very decent story that only seems to be getting deeper and more complex with each passing issue.

This comic was great and it works very well. Everything worked me finally with both the story and the art in this issue.

RATING: A-
