MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED and FORT PSYCHO to be initially print only
Oni Press announces the upcoming launches of Matt Kindt’s physical-only comic series “MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED” and “FORT PSYCHO,” featuring exclusive print upgrades and a 30-day delay for digital releases.
The press release follows:
Media Release – HEY NERDS, PUT DOWN THE COMPUTER AND PICK UP SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE YOU A REAL HERO: A BONA FIDE GENUINE COMIC BOOK! Oni Press – the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997 – is proud to reveal that the first two new series released under superstar creator Matt Kindt’s (BRZRKR, Dept. H) FLUX HOUSE imprint will feature an extended window of physical-only availability. Debuting in June and August, respectively, both MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED and FORT PSYCHO will be available exclusively at comic book retailers with no digital releases for either series until 30 days after the release of each series’ fourth issue.
Notably both series will also feature an array of specially tailored, print-only upgrades designed to take full advantage of comics as print medium. First: Beginning 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,” MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED #1 will feature a specialty die-cut cover and 32 pages of content written, drawn, colored, lettered, and designed by Kindt himself – alongside a specially manufactured “blind bag” containing one of 15 exclusive, chase, or rare variant covers spanning four distinct subsets from some of Kindt’s closest and most acclaimed collaborators, including Jenna Cha (The Sickness), Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth, Black Hammer), Jesse Lonergan (Drome, Man’s Best), Fábio Moon (Archie, Daytripper), David Rubín (Black Hammer, EC’s Cruel Universe), Scott Suguichi (Estrus: Shovelin' the @#$% Since ‘97), and J.H. Williams III (Promethea, Batwoman). The series’ first issue will debut in comic shops everywhere on June 24th.
Then: Debuting in August, FORT PSYCHO #1 (of 12) – the 40-page first issue of the explosive new maxi-series from co-creators Matt Kindt and Brian Hurtt (The Sixth Gun) – will maximize the power of comic book storytelling in the most aggressive and high intensity manner ever attempted on the printed page, thanks to a new publishing format called PSYCHO-VISION. Upping the ante with upgrades across all 12 issues in Kindt and Hurtt’s masterclass in super-spy betrayal and subversion, each issue of FORT PSYCHO will feature panton-keyed covers on 10 pt. cardstock with a maximized, ad-free format brimming with back matter (to say nothing of the violence and harsh language).
“For every fan, the experience of reading and loving comics starts at a comic shops, and, with Flux House preparing to debut two of the summer’s most immersive reading experiences at Oni Press, we want to do everything we can to support MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED and FORT PSYCHO on store shelves throughout the coming summer and fall,” said Hunter Gorinson, President & Publisher of Oni Press.
“Matt Kindt and Oni Press are committed to delivering a one-of-a-kind experience, and we truly believe that starts with local comic book shops,” said Oni Press President & Publisher Hunter Gorinson. ”Whether blasting open a brand-new frontier for one of this century’s most acclaimed and rightfully influential independent comics series in MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED or creating one of the New Year’s most white-kuckle entertainment experiences in the pages of FORT PSYCHO, this is a line of books that is bold, experimental, and fearlessly creative in the service of telling the most gripping story possible.”
