The Department of Truth Vol. 4: The Ministry of Lies
The Department of Truth Vol. 4: The Ministry of Lies
James Tynion IV, writer; Martin Simmonds, artist; Aditya Bidikar, letterer
Image Comics, 2022
As the subtitle indicates, this arc revolves around the decades-long secret war the Department of Truth fought against the Soviet Ministry of Lies. The story begins with Lee Harvey Oswald declaring victory while talking to Grigori Petrov, his Soviet counterpart. Lee says the Cold War is over, but Grigori has his doubts. Next thing we know Black Hat Martin Barker introduces himself to Grigori...and later Grigori is found murdered, which Lee interprets as a message from Barker. Meanwhile, Hawk has shown Cole Turner's husband Matty proof of how deeply he has been influenced by Oswald, also introducing him to others in Black Hat. Cole convinces Lee that there is a way to use Matty's involvement to their advantage: the last scene finds Lee telling Matty to publish the real story of the Department of Truth in the Washington Post, hopefully saving the world in the process. It will certainly be interesting to see where this goes.
