Oni Press has revealed Matt Kindt’s newest initiative in advance of the forthcoming launch of the creator’s Flux House imprint: “100% Human-Made” – a new, open-source certification for comics, graphic novels, and other visual, musical and audio forms of creative work to designate them as fully derived of the human imagination and otherwise free of elements designed or enhanced by generative artificial intelligence.
Featuring an emblem designed by Kindt himself that will first debut on June’s Mind MGMT: New & Improved #1 – launching a brand-new beginning for the creator’s widely acclaimed comics masterpiece at Oni Press – the “100% Human-Made” certification is created under the Creative Commons “Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International” license. Under those terms, artists seeking to utilize the “100% Human-Made” certification can “distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon the material in any medium or format” for commercial and not-for-profit purposes, as long as it carries the following Creative Commons attribution:
Oni Press has revealed that the first two new series released under superstar creator Matt Kindt’s Flux House imprint will feature an extended window of physical-only availability. Debuting in June and August, respectively, both Mind MGMT: New & Improved andFort Psychowill be available exclusively at comic book retailers with no digital releases for either series until 30 days after the release of each series’ fourth issue.
Notably both series will also feature an array of specially tailored, print-only upgrades designed to take full advantage of comics as print medium. First: Beginning with an all-new, entirely self-contained entry point into the genre-bending, Eisner Award–nominated series, Mind MGMT: New & Improved #1 will feature a specialty die-cut cover and 32 pages of content written, drawn, colored, lettered, and designed by Kindt himself – alongside 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, Jeff Lemire, Jesse Lonergan, Fábio Moon, David Rubín, Scott Suguichi, and J.H. Williams III. The series’ first issue will debut in comic shops everywhere on June 24th.
Then: Debuting in August, Fort Psycho #1 (of 12) – the 40-page first issue of the explosive new maxi-series from co-creators Matt Kindt and Brian Hurtt – will maximize the power of comic book storytelling in the most aggressive and high intensity manner ever attempted on the printed page, thanks to a new publishing format called PSYCHO-VISION. Upping the ante with upgrades across all 12 issues in Kindt and Hurtt’s masterclass in super-spy betrayal and subversion, each issue of Fort Psychowill feature panton-keyed covers on 10 pt. cardstock with a maximized, ad-free format brimming with back matter (to say nothing of the violence and harsh language).
Dark Horse Comics presents Nano, a three-issue science-fiction, action-adventure comic series from world-renowned artist Alexandra Grant, NYT bestseller and award-winning author Matt Kindt, and critically acclaimed artist Natacha Bustos. The miniseries is written by Grant and Kindt, illustrated by Bustos, and lettered by Sophia Hilmes. Each issue will be 54 pages and will include cover art by Bustos.
Sana is a badass operative of the underground organization The Order. She and her longtime comrade, Lukas, have been assigned to Nano, a mega-city run on prison labor and roiling from blackouts. While Lukas is tasked with infiltrating Nanocorp’s secretive research facility, Sana’s mission is something she’s never trained for: playing the doting wife of Lukas’s cover. In her guise as a middle-school PE teacher, she’s forced to cool her jets and teach eighth graders stretching while Lukas puts himself in danger. But when the signs are unmistakable and Lukas’s mission is clearly going sideways, Sana can no longer sit on the bench.
Nano #1(of 3) arrives in comic shops on July 29, 2026. It is now available for preorder from your local comic shop for $8.99.

On the outside: A new training protocol designed and written by Matt Kindtwith instructions on how to deploy the “blind bag” in your possession to withstand psychic attack by the forces of paranoia and control.
And on the inside –Operation: Blind Bag commences with an artistic assault on the senses as each blind bag reveals one of 15 exclusive, chase, or rare variant covers spanning four distinct subsets with strictly limited print runs in a manner of aesthetically pleasing alternatives to stimulate your third eye
ARTIST VARIANT SUBSET
A curated line of artistic interpretations heralding Mind MGMT’s return, featuring Jenna Cha, Jeff Lemire, Jesse Lonergan, Fábio Moon, and David Rubín.
NOTE: These covers will be evenly divided across the print run once all rare and chase subset covers have been accounted for.
“ERROR” EDITIONS BY MATT KINDT SUBSET
In the process of manufacturing and distributing Matt Kindt‘s open-order, die-cut cover for Mind MGMT: New & Improved #1, it appears that some unfortunate errors accidentally made their way into the blind bagging process, including Korean import and 3-D versions never intended for commercial distribution.
CHASE FOIL SUBSET
Limited edition variants of Jesse Lonergan and J.H. Williams III cover art, reproduced without trade dress on foil stock.
HYPER-RARE “U.S.S.A.” VARIANT SUBSET
Featuring guest starring roles from Lee Harvey Oswald, Patty Hearst, Charles Manson, Richard Nixon, the command module of Apollo 11, and more, this hyper-rare variant subset consists of six covers unearthing America’s secret history of mind control and information warfare across the 20th Century, as rendered by artist and designer Scott Sugiuchi.
NOTE: One of these covers is a hallucination and will never actually exist. Sorry, and thank you for playing!
In 1931, Bell Laboratories introduced high-fidelity, forever altering man’s relationship to music. In 1939, Technicolor revolutionized the aesthetic of cinema – producing deeper, more immersive images on film that instantly conjured “movie magic” for viewers around the world. Now, nearly a century later, Oni Press and Flux House introduce “Psycho-Vision” – a new, wholly unique combination of print processes developed for the upcoming, August 2026 debut of Fort Psycho #1that will maximize the power of comic book storytelling in the most aggressive and high intensity manner ever attempted on the printed page.
Debuting first on Fort Psycho #1 and continuing across of all 12 issues of the highly explosive new maxi-series from New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt and powerhouse artist Brian Hurtt, “Psycho-Vision” will up the ante with upgrades across five distinct categories:
MAXIMIZED COLOR: Pantone-keyed covers for each issue by series co-creator Brian Hurtt specifically engineered to capture specific colors otherwise impossible to print under the standard CMYK process.
MAXIMIZED QUALITY: Heavy-duty, 10 pt. cardstock covers on each issue – so sturdy they could take a bullet!
MAXIMIZED CONTENT: Each issue of FORT PSYCHO will be delivered completely free of external advertising and come packed with exclusive back matter, beginning with its double-sized 40-page first issue in August 2026.
MAXIMIZED LANGUAGE: When it comes to telling the tightly wound, 12-part tale of disgraced super-spies exiled to an island prison stocked with trained killers, secret betrayals, and the long-buried truth about the mission that brought them there … things are going to get salty. FORT PSYCHO uses all the @#$%-ing words!
MAXIMIZED PHYSICALITY: Due to the proprietary nature of this new printing process, the complete PSYCHO-VISION experience is only available to readers of the series’ single-issue print editions in comic shops and cannot be reproduced or approximated digitally.
Ten years ago, the nation of Singapore sank into the Pacific Ocean. The underground terrorist network known as The Seven Seals took credit for the largest act of terror in human history. In the aftermath, the United Nations created a strike team of highly trained covert operatives with one mission: locate, identify, and eliminate The Seven Seals’ secretive leader. The team’s clandestine affairs were to always remain in the shadows – until their final, explosive confrontation with The Seven Seals resulted in a large-scale tragedy too bloody to cover up and too tragic to ignore.
Disgraced and disavowed by the governments that trained them, the world’s most dangerous secret agents have been convicted for their crimes and sentenced to serve time side-by-side in the one place capable of holding them: their old island headquarters, Fort Cyclone – now known in the media by the derogatory nickname “Fort Psycho.”
And that’s where the official story is about to go terribly, terribly wrong.

NEW AGENTS. NEW MISSION. NEW BEGINNING. . .Oni Press and Flux House revealed a first look inside of MIND MGMT: New & Improved #1 – the FIRST ISSUE of an all-new, entirely self-contained entry point into the genre-bending, Eisner Award-nominated series that Entertainment Weekly calls “one of the most experimental and fascinating books in mainstream comics.” Sit back, relax, and feel your pulse steadily escalate to dangerous levels of over-adrenalized anxiety as New York Times best-selling creator and multiple Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Matt Kindt returns to the scene of his definitive statement on the art of psychic espionage.
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 Swan – 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 trashcan 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?
MIND MGMT: New & Improved #1 will arrive in comic shops in June 2026.
