Oni Press and Flux House have shared an all-new video trailer for Mind MGMT: New & Improved #1 – the long-awaited first issue of New York Times best-selling cartoonist and multiple Eisner Award nominee Matt Kindt’s (BRZRKR, Dept. H) return to his defining statement on psychic espionage. Kicking off with 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,” your descent into a world of psychic warfare and sabotage through subversion when the book materialises in comic shops everywhere on June 24th, 2026!
Watch the new trailer in the player below:
In our four star review of issue #1 Neil says “Mind MGMT: New & Improved #1 is a confident, cerebral return that respects its history whilst throwing the door wide open for new readers. Kindt’s watercolour world is as distinctive and unsettling as ever, and with two compelling new leads and a mystery that feels urgently contemporary, this is a comeback that more than justifies the eleven year wait.”
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 Swon—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 trash can 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?
“I’ve been working on this book for ten years…without even realizing it,” said Kindt. “MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED was a subliminal message I sent myself. And for the last decade, it’s grown in my head, like a virus, with every passing day. And I can’t imagine a better, more truthful time in the world to release it than 2026. MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED will shatter all the lies from my previous series and the truth shall set us free.”
Pre-order Mind MGMT: New & Improved #1 with your local comic shop retailer no later than Monday April 27th, 2026.
