Was so happy to finally get my hands on a copy of the second volume of this series from the library! It’s such a cool concept: what if all the conspiracy theories we know are actually true? And what if there’s a department in the government that manages them all?
The story is super dark, but oh so interesting. The artwork is creepy and sometimes brutal, but I can’t get enough of the plot. And of course, this volume ends on a perfect cliffhanger.
Would recommend if: you like the x-files, conspiracies, want to get into graphic novels/comics but aren’t into superheros, and don’t shy away from violence/gore. (I would check out the content warnings before reading)
