<\/a>For over 20 years, bestselling cartoonist Matt Kindt has been writing and illustrating creator-owned comics that balance action-packed storytelling with a highly personal creative vision, with titles like BRZRKR (with Keanu Reeves), Apache Delivery Service, BANG! Dept. H, Ether, Fear Case, MIND MGMT, Folklords, Revolver, 3 Story, Super Spy, and Pistolwhip. Now the acclaimed cartoonist is collaborating with Dark Horse Comics, his longtime publisher, to launch Flux House, a new boutique imprint that will feature the writing (and sometimes) art of Kindt, with crime, science fiction, and humor stories, all told and presented in startling and untraditional ways.<\/p>\nUpcoming Flux House publications will take many forms and formats, with each release having a distinct presentation including unique trim-sizes with two publications to be magazine-sized and special print features (like die-cut and fur) and a punch-card dust jacket that reveals a secret message . These publications are personally designed by Kindt to be both books and art objects.<\/p>\n
Flux House will launch in July with MIND MGMT: BOOTLEG, a new 4-part mini-series by Kindt and artists Farel Dalrymple, Jill Thompson, David Rub\u00edn, and Matt Lesniewski. The latest series in the conspiracy-laden and mind-twisting universe of MIND MGMT, MIND MGMT: BOOTLEG marks the first time the series has been illustrated by an artist other than Kindt. The all-new series will include variant covers by Jim Rugg, Marguerite Sauvage, Aron Wiesenfeld, and Laura Perez, and the polybagged variant versions of MIND MGMT: BOOTLEG will contain a subversive, collectible playing card.<\/p>\n
\u201cFlux House is inspired by Fluxus \u2013 an avant-garde art movement from the 1950s that was an extension of Surrealists and Dadaists,\u201d said Kindt. \u201cThe Fluxus movement focused on the creative process and experimental art forms. Their trademarks include accessibility, absurdism, and a sense of humor. If you\u2019ve seen me burn or cut one of my books apart at a signing, you already have a sense of where I\u2019m going with this. Flux House aims to embody all of these elements. It won\u2019t be limited by traditional forms of books and print. And the story format will, as the name implies, always be in flux.\u201d<\/p>\n
As part of the Flux House agreement with Dark Horse, Kindt\u2019s upcoming creator-owned works will all be published by the company. Flux House is the latest in Dark Horse\u2019s growing line of prestige publishing imprints for creator-owned comics, joining Karen Berger\u2019s Berger Books, Brian Michael Bendis\u2019 Jinxworld, and Kevin Smith\u2019s Secret Stash.<\/p>\n
\u201cI promise you that MIND MGMT: BOOTLEG is not a prequel, a studio-driven sequel, or a corporate re-imagining of that comic you love,\u201d said Kindt. \u201cIt remains weird, paranoid storytelling and it was the perfect title to launch Flux House with.\u201d<\/p>\n In MIND MGMT, a covert government agency of psychic super spies fell into oblivion after one of their top agents went rogue. What looked like the end was only the beginning as a former leader of MIND MGMT explores the darkest parts of the world and recruits a team of forgotten agents to rebuild the organization, bend reality, and go to war with a competing agency.<\/p>\n \u201cWhether you\u2019ve been following Kindt\u2019s career or are new to his storytelling, Flux House will deliver compulsively readable stories full of adventure and intrigue, with some very, very strange twists,\u201d said Dark Horse Comics Senior Editor Daniel Chabon.<\/p>\n For more information about Flux House, follow Dark Horse Comics on Twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n Praise for Matt Kindt:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cKindt breaks all preconceived notions of what comic books are.\u201d\u2014IGN<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cKindt is a storyteller so fully in control of his gifts that his graphic novels read like quietly compelling arguments for the comics medium\u2019s narrative potential.\u201d\u2014NPR<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cOne of the most exciting and original talents in the business\u201d\u2014The Los Angeles Times<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ABOUT MATT KINDT:<\/p>\n Matt Kindt is a New York Times bestselling, Harvey Award-winning writer and artist of comics and graphic novels.
