Deep State, Vol. 1

2015

They keep the government's secret.. secret. John Harrow doesn't exist, & 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 & are never acknowledged to exist. Some of these are innocuous. Some of them are monstrous beyond reason. & most of the time, they go as expected & the public is never the wiser. Most of the time. John Harrow’s job is to handle them when things go wrong, & do anything to make sure the government’s secrets stay just that—secret. With Luther Strode, Dead Body Road, & Spread, Justin Jordan has become one of the eminent voices in hard-hitting, intelligent, original comics, & 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 & X-Files to films like Enemy of the State, & Three Days of the Condor, you’ll be gripped by Deep State!
