Few comic teams deliver pulse-pounding action and sharp intrigue like writer Matt Kindt and artist Brian Hurtt. Their latest series, Fort Psycho, continues this trend. Since its debut, Fort Psycho has captivated readers with its blend of espionage, paranoia, and explosive action, establishing itself as one of the most compelling creator-driven series available. Now, Oni Press and Flux House raise the stakes with FORT PSYCHO #5, which kicks off the brand-new “False Flags” story arc and offers an excellent entry point for new readers.

Synopsis

After surviving betrayal, imprisonment, and the fallout from a mission gone catastrophically wrong, Jason and his fellow operatives are finally preparing to make their move. But in a world built on secrets, shifting loyalties, and hidden agendas, freedom may prove even more dangerous than captivity. Promising fresh adversaries, new conspiracies, and enough double-crosses to keep readers guessing, “FORT PSYCHO #5” launches the second act of Kindt and Hurtt’s action-packed maxi-series with guns blazing.

FORT PSYCHO #5 – FALSE FLAGS by Matt Kindt and Brian Hurtt

ALL-NEW ARC! ALL-NEW JUMPING-ON POINT! ALL-NEW ACTION! “FALSE FLAGS” STARTS HERE! More accomplices! More adversaries! More double-crosses! And twice as many exit wounds. . . The second act of the year’s most compulsively page-turning action epic is locked, loaded, and coming out guns blazing—courtesy of New York Times bestselling superstar Matt Kindt (BRZRKR, Mind MGMT) and adrenaline-racing artist Brian Hurtt (The Sixth Gun)!

After apprehending the world’s most wanted terrorist leader at a terrible cost, the most highly trained and lethal unit of intelligence operatives in human history has been hunted down, disavowed by their governments, and imprisoned on the island fortress nicknamed “Fort Psycho.” Locked away from the world, they have little else to do but sharpen their grudges, plot their bloody revenge, and attempt to zero in on the traitor . . . or traitors . . . that are suspected to still hide among their ranks.

So what’s the most dangerous thing you could give this hardened team of paranoid international commandos? It’s not another weapon—it’s hope. Primed with a plan to finally make their escape from Fort Psycho’s prison paradise, the detached assassin Jason and his former allies-turned-convicts are pairing off, two-by-two, to execute their last-ditch gambit for freedom. But not everyone is who they seem . . . and Jason’s covert mission to find and kill the double agent responsible for his life sentence is about to explode into a barrage of bullets and broken promises.
