Enter If You Dare: 'MIND MGMT: New & Improved' #1 Unveils Operation: Blind Bag

The Next Evolution of Matt Kindt's Comic Masterpiece Begins with 15 Exclusive, Chase, and Rare Covers Featuring Neil Armstrong, Jenna Cha, Lee Harvey Oswald, Jeff Lemire, Charles Manson, Fábio Moon, & More! 


If you are reading this, you have been invited to participate in a very special program designed to entertain, enlighten, and enhance your perception of MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED #1 – the "first issue" of the brand-new beginning for New York Times best-selling writer/artist Matt Kindt's groundbreaking comic masterpiece arriving on June 24th from Oni Press and Flux House. 

When MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED #1 arrives on shelves – featuring a die-cut standard cover by Matt Kindt himself – it will also be accompanied by a mystifying token of the ongoing war for the psychic control of America's heart and mind. Enter: MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED #1 – OPERATION: BLIND BAG – a fin-sealed, metallic silver "blind bag" containing everything you need to know to escape the reach of the subliminal surveillance agency called "Mind Management." 

On the outside: A new training protocol designed and written by Matt Kindt with instructions on how to deploy the "blind bag" in your possession to withstand psychic attack by the forces of paranoia and control. 

And on the inside – OPERATION: BLIND BAG commences with an artistic assault on the senses as each blind bag reveals one of 15 exclusive, chase, or rare variant covers spanning four distinct subsets with strictly limited print runs in a manner of aesthetically pleasing alternatives to stimulate your third eye:



ARTIST VARIANT SUBSET

A curated line of artistic interpretations heralding Mind MGMT's return, featuring Jenna Cha (The Sickness), Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth, Black Hammer), Jesse Lonergan (Drome, Man's Best), Fábio Moon (Archie, Daytripper), and David Rubín (Black Hammer, EC’s Cruel Universe).

NOTE: These covers will be evenly divided across the print run once all rare and chase subset covers have been accounted for. 






"ERROR" EDITIONS BY MATT KINDT SUBSET 

In the process of manufacturing and distributing Matt Kindt's open-order, die-cut cover for MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED #1, it appears that some unfortunate errors accidentally made their way into the blind bagging process, including Korean import and 3-D versions never intended for commercial distribution.





CHASE FOIL SUBSET

Limited edition variants of Jesse Lonergan (Drome, Man's Best) and J.H. Williams III (Promethea, Batwoman) cover art, reproduced without trade dress on foil stock. 



HYPER-RARE "U.S.S.A." VARIANT SUBSET 

Featuring guest starring roles from Lee Harvey Oswald, Patty Hearst, Charles Manson, Richard Nixon, the command module of Apollo 11, and more, this hyper-rare variant subset consists of six covers unearthing America's secret history of mind control and information warfare across the 20th Century, as rendered by artist and designer Scott Sugiuchi.

NOTE: One of these covers is a hallucination and will never actually exist. Sorry, and thank you for playing!

For longer than they can remember, these child vampires have lived a life of eternal wonder amongst the ruins of humanity.

Score: ★★★★1/2 (4.5/5) There are certain comic book creators whose books I'll pick up without hesitation. One of those creators is Jeff Lemire. He instills confidence knowing that his stories will be thoughtful and engaging. You add a talented artist like Dustin Nguyen on another collaborative effort and well, 'Little Monsters,' is a must-buy.
