Mind MGMT: Bootleg



MIND MGMT: BOOTLEG is not: a prequel, a studio-driven sequel, or a corporate re-imagining of that comic you love.

MIND MGMT: BOOTLEG is not: a prequel, a studio-driven sequel, or a corporate re-imagining of that comic you love.

MIND MGMT: BOOTLEG is: weird, mind-blowing, paranoid storytelling. It was also the first ever comic book series from Flux House, Matt Kindt’s all-new imprint which features crime, science fiction, and humor stories, all told in startling and untraditional ways. 
 
Previously in MIND MGMT: a covert government agency of psychic super spies fell into oblivion after one of their top agents went rogue.
 
Now: 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. From New York Times bestselling and Harvey award-winning graphic novelist Matt Kindt and Farel Dalrymple (The Wrenchies) comes the next chapter in the conspiracy-laden and mind-twisting universe of Mind MGMT, with variant covers by Dan Brereton, Jim Rugg, Marguerite Sauvage, Aron Wiesenfeld, and Laura Perez.
