About the series
The Department of Truth, launched by Image Comics in 2021, is a paranoid conspiracy thriller that explores the terrifying notion that belief itself shapes reality. Written by James Tynion IV with haunting, painterly art by Martin Simmonds, the series follows a young FBI agent recruited into a secret government agency tasked with policing the line between truth and lies, where the most dangerous weapon is a widely held conviction. Across its initial six-issue arc, it blends historical conspiracy theories with psychological horror, offering a chilling commentary on the power of misinformation in the modern age. It has quickly become a defining work for its creators and a standout in Image’s lineup for its timely, unsettling premise.
