The Department of Truth #2

Martin Simmonds' cover for issue #2 is a genuinely unsettling piece of work — a repeated photographic figure in a red suit, adorned with devil horns and red eyes, multiplied across the cover like a hall-of-mirrors propaganda poster, with pentagram stars lining the borders. The distressed, collage-like aesthetic perfectly suits the series' paranoid DNA, and the chapter title "Devils, Real and Imagined" makes clear that James Tynion IV's story is digging deep into the mythology of conspiracy and manipulation. If the first issue drew you in, this one suggests the darkness is only getting stranger.
