In addition to your introduction the world of Mind MGMT: New & Improved, the Mind MGMT/Fort Psycho FCB 2026 Special will also contain an all-new, high-octane prelude to the events of Fort Psycho #1 – the extreme action action comic locking a strike team of highly trained covert operatives trapped on a secret island prison with no hope of escape, as they contend with secret betrayals, and the long-buried truth about the mission that brought them there. The two-fisted spectacle of subversion leads directly into two of the year’s biggest creator-owned comics launches: June’s Mind MGMT: New & Improved #1by Matt Kindtand August’sFort Psycho #1by Kindt and co-creator/artist Brian Hurtt.
Mind MGMT: New & Improved #1: 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 Swon—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 trash can 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?
Fort Psycho #1: BOOM! BANG! DUCK! For the international commandos codenamed SHIV, LYCAN, and DRAGONFLY, a routine mission to catch-and-kill a fugitive from the world’s most wanted terror sect is about to go very, very wrong. Who are THE SEVEN SEALS? And what terrible price will the men and women of Fort Psycho pay to bring them to justice? Find out when Fort Psycho #1launches its attack on readers this August!
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).
Oni Press will release an onslaught of face-melting new covers for Fort Psycho– the brand-new, high-intensity, compulsively page-turning maxi-series from MattKindt and acclaimed artist Brian Hurtt—by comics master Lewis LaRosa. LaRosa’s contributions to Fort Psychowill represent his first consistent return to ongoing cover duties for the first time in several years and mark his first all-new project for Oni Press.
Beginning with Fort Psycho #1 (of 12) – hitting stands everywhere in August – LaRosa will join series co-creator and interior artist Brian Hurtt on ongoing shelf covers for the shrapnel-laden, nerve-tightening action epic that will soon unravel the many secrets and betrayals of a team of disgraced secret agents … and the truth about the classified island prison where they have been sent to atone for their innumerable crimes. LaRosa’s raw black-and-white artwork will be made available as additional, incentive covers from Fort Psycho #1onward through the series’ long-planned, closely held conclusion.
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.
