Oni Press and Flux House have revealed a first look inside of Mind MGMT: New & Improved #1 – the first issue of an all-new, entirely self-contained entry point into the genre-bending, Eisner Award-nominated series that Entertainment Weekly calls “one of the most experimental and fascinating books in mainstream comics.” Sit back, relax, and feel your pulse steadily escalate to dangerous levels of over-adrenalized anxiety as New York Times best-selling creator and multiple Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Matt Kindt returns to the scene of his definitive statement on the art of psychic espionage.
Ten years ago, the extra-governmental agency known as Mind Management exploded in a barrage of bullets and brain matter. Those that survived have gone underground – forging new lives with unremarkable identities and falsified pasts to obfuscate the strange abilities that once made them highly prized assets in the global war for psychic control. Now, two investigators – Detective Delphi and Detective Swan – have found themselves at the center of an unexpected puzzle. Here: A man poisoned in a coffee shop with a sophisticated neurotoxin. There: A supposed suicide victim run over by a train … with his arms found in a trashcan five miles from the tracks. Their connection: Someone is killing former Mind Management agents in improbable and arcane ways … Seemingly impossible crimes committed by a faceless killer capable of evading even the most pervasive digital surveillance. What secret are they killing to protect? Who will be next? Has Mind Management returned? Did it ever go away? You are paranoid … but are you paranoid enough?
“If you have followed Matt Kindt’s work at any point over his wide-ranging, 20-plus year career, you have undoubtedly seen slivers of his genius embedded in everything from blockbusters like BRZRKR to brain-bending mysteries like Dept. H and Gilt Frame. But even with a litany of hits, awards, and accolades behind him, I dare say that Mind MGMT is the best and most powerful example of Matt’s relentlessly innovative, hyper-powered creativity as both a writer and cartoonist – and, with his new series at Oni, you’ll soon see why,” said Oni Press President & Publisher Hunter Gorinson. “A perfect introduction for first-time readers and a concentrated dose of retroactive obsession for longtime fans, you’ll soon see why Mind MGMT: New & Improved is the perfect opening salvo for the new flux House line at Oni Press.”
The first series to be released under Kindt’s acclaimed Flux House banner at Oni Press, Mind MGMT: Now & Improved marks Kindt’s first ongoing return to the world of Mind MGMT since the original series’ conclusion in 2015. Readers with a strong enough pineal fortitude can take an experimental test dose of Flux House’s mind-altering effects on Free Comic Book Day 2026 as Oni Press prepares to release the Mind MGMT / Fort Psycho FCBD 2026 Special, which will feature two all-new stories torn from the pages of Kindt’s first two shrapnel-laced new series under the Flux House banner at Oni Press: Mind MGMT: New & Improved #1 in June, and Fort Psycho #1 with co-creator/artist Brian Hurtt (The Sixth Gun) in August.
