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

Picture
Books one and two were very exciting, but followed a more or less conventional narrative structure. Now that all the basics have been established, the creators decided to experiment some. And so book three is largely a prequel. A bunch of origins stories. Done in different artistic styles. And slightly different narrative styles.
Dizzying variety with the original protagonist nowhere to be found, but then again, Tynion is obviously creating a very elaborate universe here so some time-travelling must play a role.
And because it is such a clever universe, you go along for the ride.
The art never quite hits the same high notes as the original, but it’s conceptually interesting and does serve the stories.
So come, find the origins of the truth and department of it, and then return to the original timeline. On to book four.
