The Department of Truth #23

Martin Simmonds's painterly cover for issue #23 pulls two ghostly, overlapping figures from a haze of distressed blues, reds, and greens — their faces blurred together as if reality itself is glitching and refusing to hold a single truth. It's a quietly unsettling image that captures exactly the mood James Tynion IV and Simmonds have built across this series, and "Chapter 16: Why We Fight" promises that the tension at the heart of the book is far from resolved. A compelling entry in one of Image's most atmospherically distinctive ongoing series.
