Matt Kindt: Mind MGMT (Paperback, 2019, Dark Horse Comics) 4 stars

This globe-spanning tale of espionage explores the adventures of a journalist investigating the mystery of …

Very much appreciated the density of this, and the effort of the watercoloured artwork (although I worry a bit when density and effort are the first things I think to compliment). Kindt presents an absurdly intricate world with its own intuitive (or at least intuitable) logic, and while it sometimes can seem too multilayered for its own good, it generally manages to keep the story as the central focus. Never quite attains the mystic highs of something like Invisibles—despite its focus on altering minds, I wouldn't quite call this psychedelic—but there's a unique world, unique art, interesting use of the medium, and a story that doesn't strain to fill a half-dozen trades. It more than justifies a read, in other words.
