Yeah it’s incredible what else is new

This is still good, incredibly good。 But somewhere it missed the mindnending headspinning of the first two volumes。

After taking a detour into one-shot stories for the previous volume, we're back on track here as the three organisations, the Department Of Truth, The Ministry Of Lies, and Black Hat all set their sights on victory in the war for the American subconscious。DoT is a dense book。 Not just in the sense that it's prosaic, but also that the ideas it presents are heavy as hell, in a good way。 This arc also manages to hammer everything home for Cole by bringing his husband into the conflict, for better o After taking a detour into one-shot stories for the previous volume, we're back on track here as the three organisations, the Department Of Truth, The Ministry Of Lies, and Black Hat all set their sights on victory in the war for the American subconscious。DoT is a dense book。 Not just in the sense that it's prosaic, but also that the ideas it presents are heavy as hell, in a good way。 This arc also manages to hammer everything home for Cole by bringing his husband into the conflict, for better or worse, as the noose grows tighter around them both。The artwork remains extremely effective if a little sketchy at times, but there's no denying that Martin Simmonds' style is exactly what this series needs。DoT is on fine form yet again。 。。。more

"Stories end。 Our story is over。 A new begins。 Maybe there will be greatness in it。 I personally doubt it。 These will be our years in the wilderness。 Then, maybe a bear again。 Who can say。 I won't live to see it。" So says Lee's counterpart from the Department's vanquished Soviet counterpart in a 1991 conversation in the Moscow branch of McDonald's。 Which is gone now, of course。 Presumably little tweaks have been made in light of recent events, but the main story must already have been headed in "Stories end。 Our story is over。 A new begins。 Maybe there will be greatness in it。 I personally doubt it。 These will be our years in the wilderness。 Then, maybe a bear again。 Who can say。 I won't live to see it。" So says Lee's counterpart from the Department's vanquished Soviet counterpart in a 1991 conversation in the Moscow branch of McDonald's。 Which is gone now, of course。 Presumably little tweaks have been made in light of recent events, but the main story must already have been headed in pretty much this direction even before the last few months of side-stories, which is still a little too close for comfort to the series' whole plot about the uncomfortably close relationship between belief and reality。 So let's just express the ardent hope that the Ministry of Lies' successors experience their own bad and broken ends real soon, and maybe that'll move the timeline up a little。 。。。more

This volume gets back to the people we know behind this story and I love it for that。 The conspiracies are still present and that’s what makes this book what it is, but the continuing story of our characters dealing with those conspiracies and organizations behind them is what makes this book so great。 Very excited to see where this goes!

The ministry of lies collection begins to seriously undermine Lee’s claims about the DoT。 The plot thickens and Cole is a pawn being used, but I’m no longer sure what side is pulling his strings。
