Matt Kindt is bringing his imprint Flux House to Oni Press. But first? Free Comic Book Day 2026, which is now under the purview of Universal Distribution and Luna Distribution. And in celebration of the two new owners of the day (not really), Kindt will release Mind MGMT / Fort Psycho FCBD 2026 Special on May 2, 2026.
“Like a contraband weapon smuggled into a deep-black, off-the-grid prison under the cover of darkness, Matt Kindt, Brian Hurtt, and even more collaborators yet-to-be revealed have been methodically sharpening the first new titles under the FLUX HOUSE banner at Oni Press into a fine point for maximum impact,” said Oni Press President & Publisher Hunter Gorinson via press release. “Whether blasting open a brand-new frontier for one of this century’s most acclaimed and rightfully influential independent comics series in MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED or creating one of the New Year’s most white-kuckle entertainment experiences in the pages of FORT PSYCHO, this is a line of books that is bold, experimental, and fearlessly creative in the service of telling the most gripping story possible. The clock starts ticking on Free Comic Book Day… and the even bigger bombs start to drop when these series’ new #1 issues hit stands in June and August, respectively.”
Here’s what to know about the two brand new stories in the FCBD special:
First: Congratulations! You have been selected to join the ranks of MIND MGMT – the secretive agency rumored to influence global affairs from the shadows through assassination, sabotage, and psychic espionage. In the hands of our elite instructors, you will be schooled in the exotic arts of mental manipulation, information warfare, subliminal conditioning, and more. This comic book is part of your training. Read on to discover who we are, who we are fighting, and why our lives are no longer our own in this self-contained, educational introduction to the vast underground network we call MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED #1, as written and drawn by Matt Kindt.
Then: 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? Master storytellers Matt Kindt and Brian Hurtt present an all-new, high-octane prelude to the events of FORT PSYCHO #1 – the action comic so extreme, it just might catch on fire.
