Imo it’s a bit confusing and the art doesn’t help. Hope you like it tho!

Thanks! Funnily enough, someone else just commented something very similar to this. I’ll say the same thing tho, from what I’ve seen, the art seems like an even more stylized version of a Bill Sienkiewicz who I absolutely love. And if I get confused, I’ll just reread that page again. win/win 😂

DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH: THE COMPLETE CONSPIRACY DELUXE, BOOK 2 HC
Jun 17, 2026Totally fair re. waiting. I managed to find a preorder in the UK for sub-£32 (on AwesomeBooks, vs £45 on Amazon) so went for it. Having said that I checked the AwesomeBooks preorder page and it's also saying July! So maybe the Image date is just for LCSs.

I’m sorry to hear that. Planning on cracking it tonight. The art I’ve seen reminds me very much of an even more extreme version of Bill Sienkiewicz, which I absolutely love

What’s it about?

u/Broadnerd May 08 '26
Govt organization that prevents elites from shaping history with all the conspiracies they put into the world, which are “real”. However it quickly becomes clear it’s a very dirty business and there might not be any good or bad guys here.
I’ve only read this volume and it’s been awhile, but it was gripping and I plan to read whatever else comes out in this series. I think I’m holding out for the next hardcover like this.

u/AxDevilxLogician May 08 '26
Comes out in July; just in case you were unaware. I’m going to hold off on preordering Volume 2 tho until the price drops like Volume 1
