A review by jakekilroy
The Department of Truth, Vol. 3: Free Country by James Tynion IV

5.0

I initially loved this for its thinking man's thriller(ish) beat on conspiracy theory satire, but I've really come to adore its observation and dissection of America as a concept rather than a place. You think America as a product is bootstraps, barbecues, and national parks, but it's more so self-important mania, heaving violence, and obsessions in varying forms (that ultimately take form). We're all just driving ourselves mad, and the amount of unrelated events and histories tied together here is breathtakingly wild and incredibly fun. The whole thing just reads like its creators are having the time of their lives giving the Mothman a resounding truth.
