The Department of Truth is a secret organization responsible for keeping dangerous conspiracy theories from becoming real — by the percentage of the population that believes in them. The art is dark, messy, and beautiful. As a fan of the X-FILES, I should be all over this, but despite the great concept, the characters are generic and the narrative is too familiar. Worth checking out if you‘re a fan of these themes. If not, you won‘t miss much.

TieDyeDude I enjoyed the first arc, but I'm not sure if I'll continue with the new one that starts this month. The story gets pretty twisty, but I'm not sure if it is twisty and good or twisty and I'm just caught in seeing what happens next 😋 3d

HA!! I knew he was still alive!! After the Crisis Event, Ollie changed his name and moved from Star City to Los Angeles, where he joined a prestigious law firm to continue his fight for justice! It's almost time for Suits: LA (aka The Further Adventures of Oliver Queen) to begin.

An autobiographical story of Rod Serling‘s life and career as a writer which coincided with the growth of television. A truly fascinating tale with a nice Twilight Zone twist at the end. Definitely a read for writers and those looking for something different from the world of graphic novels.

Story 4.5 / 5
Art 3.5 / 5
Overall 8 / 10 - A interesting, compelling biography.

Pulp | Ed Brubaker
post image
Pickpick

Let me just state this up-front. Ed Brubaker is the absolute best crime fiction writer in comics today.
This story centers on an elderly writer in 1930's New York, whose pulp stories are true events from his secret past as an outlaw in the Wild West. He must now use his gritty experiences to help fight an encroaching darkness in the present. Short, but like an arrow hitting a target dead on, this is certainly worth the ride.

TieDyeDude Hell yeah! I love this book! 2w

Marc Spector suffers from multiple personality disorder. In this case, the personalities are Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Captain America. Can Moon Knight recover stolen Ultron tech, navigate the criminal underworld in his new home, L.A., and embrace a burgeoning romance with Echo, as his fellow Avengers argue in his mind? Deadly consequences await in this tale of violence and madness. Recommended!

My holiday haul ended up being extremely Marvel-centric

This has been on my TBR for quite awhile, and I loved it! NOS4A2 was an amazing book, and this graphic novel delves into the history of Charlie Manx and Christmasland. So creepy and original!

Karisimo We have old copies of these in book collections at my library and kids still love them- they get checked out constantly! 2mo
NotCool I suspect that Garfield was lots of people‘s first comic, cause it was at the library. 2mo
TieDyeDude @karisimo That's good to hear!
@NotCool If I remember correctly, these books were actually the first to be formatted this way (wide and short to display the comics as they were published in the newspaper)
