The Department Of Truth Vol. 5
The Department Of Truth Vol. 5 | James Tynion IV
2 posts | 2 read
Confronted with an enemy intent on exposing their secrets to the world, the Department of Truth made a shocking choice—go public first. But to understand Lee Harvey Oswald’s risky gambit, we have to return to where it all started: Dallas, 1963, as President John F. Kennedy’s motorcade passed the grassy knoll…and a woman in red with X’s for eyes picked up a rifle in the window of the Texas Book Depository. ALSO IN THIS VOLUME: Marilyn Monroe';s life was stranger than fiction. So strange that she may have slipped out of reality herself.Multiple Eisner Award-winning writer JAMES TYNION IV (W0RLDTR33,& The Nice House on the Lake) and Eisner Award-nominated artist MARTIN SIMMONDS (UNIVERSAL MONSTERS: DRACULA) reveal the truth behind the shot heard around the world, while acclaimed artist ALISON SAMPSON (Sleeping Beauties) joins for a very special tale about a uniquely American icon.

As we learn more of the lore undergirding the story, the protagonist Cole drifts further into the background. It feels like the story is moving more laterally than forward. The sense of conflict isn't quite ramping up.

I saw @WeAreLegion review volume 1, and, while I don't love the art and I don't love the characters, the plot is so intriguing and relevant, so I decided to continue the series and read the prequel-ish volume 5. Series plot: if enough people believe in a story, it can alter reality (i.e. Bigfoot footage is originally fake, but enough people believe that Bigfoot materializes in the real world). ⬇

TieDyeDude The Cold War involved secret American and Soviet departments fighting to control the narrative. US Dept is run by Lee Harvey Oswold, who may not have killed JFK. Was the moon landing real, or did it become reality thanks to a well-produced Hollywood film? The main story went on a 2.5 year hiatus, and this volume is interesting, but so much of it is men sitting in rooms talking about the past. This volume also has a tragic interpretation of Marilyn 6mo
WeAreLegion Yeah, I had high hopes for this series at first, but it just isn't all that. 6mo
