“I've been working on this book for ten years…without even realizing it,” said Matt 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.”

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?

Featuring a specialty die-cut cover and 32 pages of content written, drawn, colored, lettered, and designed by Kindt himself, MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED #1 will also include "OPERATION: BLIND BAG" – 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).
