Deep State #1 (3rd Ptg) (Pp #1

(W) Justin Jordan (A) Ariela Kristantina (CA) Eric Scott Pfeiffer. From BOOM! Studios. WHY WE LOVE IT: You know all those conspiracy theories you hear about? Like how the Jonestown Massacre was a failed MKULTRA experiment by the government* or how Lee Harvey Oswald was trained and brainwashed to be an assassin? Well* what if some of those were true? Deep State is a dream (nightmare?) come true for conspiracy theory nuts like us here at BOOM! WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: With Luther Strode* Dead Body Road* and Spread Justin Jordan has become one of the eminent voices in hard* intelligent* original comics* and Ariela Kristantina (Death of Wolverine) brings her unique* idiosyncratic style that has made her a breakout talent. If you're even remotely interested in conspiracy theory stories from comics like Planetary and Sleeper to films like Enemy of the State and Three Days of the Condor* you'll be gripped by Deep State! WHAT IT'S ABOUT: John Harrow doesn't exist* and his job is to make sure that other things don't exist* too. At any given time* the government is running dozens of black book operations* experiments that aren't on any official record and are never acknowledged to exist. Some of these are innocuous. Some of them are monstrous beyond reason. And most of the time* they go as expected and the public is never the wiser. Most of the time. John Harrow's job is to handle them when things go wrong* and do anything to make sure the government's secrets stay just that secret. Scheduled to ship 01/21/15. (6679)
