It had to happen eventually: Oni Press is getting into the blind bag game with multiple covers for Mind MGMT: New and Improved #1 from Matt Kindt. But thankfully, they’re doing it in a fun and weird way, because of course they are.
While fans can get a die-cut standard cover from Kindt himself, the issue will also come in a fin-sealed, metallic silver blind bag that features one of 15 covers. Maybe. I say maybe because alongside “error” editions that look like a Korean import or come in 3-D, your requisite artist variants, there are also ultra-rare Scott Sugiuchi designed “U.S.S.A.” variants… One of which doesn’t exist.
That’s the sort of tripped out madness you can expect from Mind MGMT and Kindt, and if you want to snag one for yourself — at least the ones that are real — New and Improved #1 hits stores on June 24, 2026.
Check out the full rundown of covers, below.
“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.
ARTIST VARIANT SUBSET
A curated line of artistic interpretations heralding Mind MGMT’s return, featuring Jenna Cha (The Sickness), Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth, Black Hammer), Jesse Lonergan (Drome, Man’s Best), Fábio Moon (Archie, Daytripper), and David Rubín (Black Hammer, EC’s Cruel Universe).
NOTE: These covers will be evenly divided across the print run once all rare and chase subset covers have been accounted for.
CHASE FOIL SUBSET
Limited edition variants of Jesse Lonergan (Drome, Man’s Best) and J.H. Williams III (Promethea, Batwoman) 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!
