This globe-spanning tale of espionage explores the adventures of a journalist investigating the mystery of a commercial flight where everyone aboard loses their memories
Meru's obsession with Flight 815 leads her to a much bigger story of a top-secret government Mind MGMT program. Her ensuing journey involves weaponized psychics, hypnotic advertising, talking dolphins, and seemingly immortal pursuers, as she hunts down the flight's missing passenger, the man who was Mind MGMT's greatest success--and its most devastating failure. But in a world where people can rewrite reality itself, can she trust anything she sees? Collects the first two volumes of the Mind MGMT series from New York Times bestselling and Eisner-nominated creator Matt Kindt--a story that's optioned for film by Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner).

Fun mystery and cool art, but not particularly resonate

Content warning Given how many twists there are perhaps this is minor but nevertheless you have been warned
I both love and hate the art style. It's expressive and dreamy, but sometimes hard to parse. The powers are very interesting but I don't know if I get a lot of lasting understanding about characters save for Henry and Meru. The story ends with a funny sort of (forced) moral about the importance of dyads... which I'm not sure I am convinced of. Found out about this via SU&SD's review of the board game and maybe I'll like that game better?
