4.0

Following Lee Harvey Oswald's history with the Department over the course of 6 collected one-shot stories, Vol. 3 does not move the central story forward in any significant ways--but as it dives deep into the larger mythos and history of the story, there are some terrifying encounters, dramatic twists of plot, and key revelations with significant implications to come. With varying art styles and shifting narrative forms, Free Country continues driving a strong and fascinating adventure through truth and fiction across America.

Still creepy, still exposition-heavy, still looking forward to seeing where the series goes.
