The Ministry of Compliance

In this taut five-issue series from IDW, writer John Ridley and artist Stefano Raffaele explore a near-future America where a shadowy federal agency polices citizens' compliance with an ambiguous new social order. Blending political thriller with sci-fi paranoia, the story follows agents of the Ministry as they navigate the moral complexities of their work. Ridley's sharp, character-driven script and Raffaele's moody, cinematic art create a chillingly plausible vision of bureaucracy run amok. This 2023–2024 miniseries stands as a thoughtful, unsettling examination of power and complicity.
