Writer James Tynion IV and artist Martin Simmonds are teaming up to debut their first Image Comics ongoing series, The Department of Truth. Publisher Image Comics describes the series as a “plot-twisty new conspiracy thriller that will blend the suspense of beloved series like The X-Files and the dark atmospheric storytelling of Jonathan Hickman and Tomm Coker’s The Black Monday Murders.”
From Image Comics: “The Department of Truth follows Cole Turner, a man who has studied conspiracy theories all his life, but he isn’t prepared for what happens when he discovers that all of them are true. From the JFK Assassination, to Flat Earth Theory, to Reptilian Shapeshifters—one organization has been covering them up for generations. What is the deep, dark secret behind the Department of Truth? ”
The Department of Truth #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, September 30.
