"A wonderfully dizzy mixture of Men in Black, John Carpenter, Stephen King, The Matrix, and 1970s conspiracy thrillers." —ForbesConfronted with an enemy intent on exposing their secrets to the world, the Department of Truth made a shocking choice—go public first. But to understand Lee Harvey Oswald’s risky gambit, we have to return to where it all started: Dallas, 1963, as President John F. Kennedy’s motorcade passed the grassy knoll…and a woman in red with X’s for eyes picked up a rifle in the window of the Texas Book Depository. ALSO IN THIS VOLUME: Marilyn Monroe’s life was stranger than fiction. So strange that she may have slipped out of reality herself. Multiple Eisner Award-winning writer James Tynion IV (W0RLDTR33, The Nice House on the Lake) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Martin Simmonds (Universal Monsters: Dracula) reveal the truth behind the shot heard around the world, while acclaimed artist Alison Sampson (Sleeping Beauties) joins for a very special tale about a uniquely American icon. Collects issues #23-27.
