    GVN Talking Comics Exclusive Excerpt: Matt Kindt’s ‘Mind MGMT: New & Improved’ #3

    Matt Kindt's Mind MGMT New & Improved #3 comic preview

    Back in April of this year, we had the pleasure of chatting with Creator Matt Kindt about his upcoming Oni Press series: Mind Mgmt: New and Improved. Fast forward to now, and issue #3 is getting ready to be released this month. As part of this thrilling new chapter in the series, Oni Press and Matt have given us the chance to share an exclusive excerpt from Issue #3.

    A man runs from armed soldiers, crawls through a doorway, and encounters a woman who appears startled as he enters. Three comic panels with dramatic action and shading. Three comic panels: A woman with short teal hair is confronted by a man. She runs, and he follows. Blue speech bubbles appear as she raises her hands, with words: “Calm!”, “Please.”, “Let’s be reasonable.”. A blue-haired woman pleads with two people, then runs with them outside a building at night; tension is visible as they are pursued. Three people talk outside at night near a car, discussing a group called “The Dead Sea” and deciding where to go next. The atmosphere is dark and tense.

    With this excerpt from Issue #3, Matt Kindt continues to expand the mythology of Mind MGMT in ways that feel both familiar and newly destabilizing. The layers deepen, the questions multiply, and the emotional stakes sharpen beneath the surreal veneer. Our thanks to Oni Press/ Flux House and to Matt for offering a glimpse into a chapter that proves why this universe remains one of the most inventive and mind‑warping worlds in modern comics.

    “MIND MGMT NEW & IMPROVED,” ISSUE 3

    MIND MGMT’S NEWEST AGENTS HAVE A KILLER TO CATCH! From superstar creator and cartoonist Matt Kindt’s (BRZRKR, Fort Psycho), the landmark series that IGN calls “one hell of a ride” races further a into labyrinthine maze of psychic warfare, sudden violence, and long- buried deceits where nothing—not even your own past—is quite what it seems . . .

    When Detectives Delphi and Swon find themselves in the snowy peaks of France investigating the seemingly accidental death of an Immortal (who absolutely had no business dying), Swon’s paranoia reaches new heights, and he lashes out at his fellow agents. He’s unsure of who to trust as memories of his Mind Management training come flooding back. Delphi struggles with how to keep him in check; she doesn’t want to report Swon’s erratic behavior—she should but she can’t, as she fears she’s making the wrong choice . . . for love?
