About the series
A single-issue sampler from Image Comics, Image Firsts: The Department of Truth (2022) reprints the debut chapter of James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds’ acclaimed conspiracy thriller. This issue introduces a world where all conspiracy theories are literally true, shaped by collective belief—and a secret government agency policing those truths. As a perfect entry point, it showcases the series’ haunting, painterly art and its central question: what happens when the line between fact and fiction is drawn by whoever shouts loudest?
