The Department of Truth #20

James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds's The Department of Truth continues its unsettling exploration of reality and conspiracy with issue #20, "Chapter 13: The Rabbit Hole." Martin Simmonds's painted cover presents a deeply atmospheric scene — a pale, heavyset figure seated on what appears to be a throne of shattered, jagged fragments, bathed in an eerie radial light that bursts outward from above like a collapsing sun. The textured, almost visceral imagery sets a tone of foreboding power and fragility that makes this 2022 Image Comics release genuinely hard to put down before you've even opened the cover.
