DEEP STATE TP (2025)

"At any given time, the U.S. government is running dozens of black-book operations, experiments that aren't on any official record and are never acknowledged to exist. Control agents handle these operations when things go wrong, and ensure the government's secrets stay just that-secret. Agents Harrow and Branch's recent operations have them covering up the truth behind advanced military technology and the assassination of JFK. But while hiding answers from the public, the two partners are forced to confront the secrets they've been keeping from each other. Collects issues #5-8."

"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 ifsome ofthose 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 hard­hitting, 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 Detective Comics and X­Files to films like Enemy ofthe State and Three Days ofthe 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 ofblack book operations, experiments that aren't on any official record and are never acknowledged to exist. Most of the time, they go as expected and the public is never the wiser. John Harrow's job is to handle them when they don't, and do anything to make sure the government's secrets stay just that-secret. Collects issues #1­4. Newly optioned by 20th Century Fox TV!"
