Image Comics has let us know that The Department of Truth #10 and #11 will take on BigFoot in June.
In The Department of Truth #10, some fictions manifest in reality as dangerous, half-formed things. The Department of Truth relies on hunters to track down and contain these wild tulpas before they become too real. It’s time for Cole Turner to see this side of the job firsthand. It’s time for Cole Turner to join his first Bigfoot hunt.
In The Department of Truth #11, the rules of reality start to bend in the presence of Wild Fictions. That’s why it’s Darla’s job to hunt down so-called cryptids before belief in them can spread. And if you’re an innocent bystander caught in the crosshairs… Well, the Department of Truth doesn’t leave loose ends.
“While working on Issue #10, I realized pretty quickly that to capture everything we wanted to say about Bigfoots, and Cryptids, and how they fit into the larger mythology of The Department of Truth, I would have had the cut the issue down to the bone…” said series writer James Tynion IV in a press release from Image Comics. “But then Martin and I spoke and realized we didn’t want to do any of that. If anything we wanted to lean in to really capture the emotion of the story we’re looking to tell here. Since the dawn of man, people have been hunting the impossible out in the deepest darkest forests of the world. What truth are they really after?”
The Department of Truth #10 arrives on June 30, 2021, while issue #11 arrives on July 28, 2021.
