Flux House, a new boutique imprint at Dark Horse that features the writing (and sometimes art) of bestselling cartoonist Matt Kindt, with crime, science fiction, and humor stories, all told and presented in startling and untraditional ways. Kindt has been writing and illustrating espionage and action-fueled comics like BRZRKR (with Keanu Reeves), Apache Delivery Service, BANG! Dept. H, Ether, Fear Case, MIND MGMT, Folklords, Revolver, 3 Story, Super Spy, and Pistolwhip for the last two decades. And it’s safe to say that he is having a moment this spring... (More details below.)

This year brings:

The publication of his new series, Spy Suburb. This 3 part mini-series from Dark Horse Comics and Flex Books launched on January 11. This comic is the funniest thing Kindt has ever written. As Dark Horse Publisher Mike Richardson said, “If you close your eyes and imagine John Wick being dropped into a Wes Anderson film, you’ll have a sense of the world of SPY SUPERB.”

The release of Mind MGMT: Bootleg in hardcover (February 15, comic shop date; February 28, bookstore date). The latest series in the conspiracy-laden and mind-twisting universe of MIND MGMT, MIND MGMT: BOOTLEG marks the first time the series has been illustrated by an artist other than Kindt, featuring the work of Farel Dalrymple, Jill Thompson, David Rubín, and Matt Lesniewski. In MIND MGMT, a covert government agency of psychic super spies fell into oblivion after one of their top agents went rogue. 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.

Mister Mammoth is the world’s greatest detective. The only mystery he can’t seem to solve? How, exactly, he became the world’s greatest detective… This spring, Dark Horse will publish the clever existential noir MISTER MAMMOTH, the first-ever original graphic novel from bestselling cartoonist Matt Kindt's all-new imprint, Flux House. Writer Matt Kindt will be joined on MISTER MAMMOTH by internationally acclaimed artist Jean-Denis Pendanx in his U.S. debut.

Also in March, BOOM! Studios will publish the final issue of BRZRKR the 12-part comic book series co-created and co-written by movie star Keanu Reeves. The issue is co-written by Reeves and Kindt, and features artist Ron Garney, colorist Bill Crabtree and letterer Clem Robins.

In April Flux House and Dark Horse will publish Hairball by Kindt and artist Tyler Jenkins with colors by Hilary Jenkins. In this supernatural thriller from the Eisner-nominated creators of Fear Case and Apache Delivery Service, a dysfunctional family’s mounting problems may or may not be caused by an unlikely culprit: the family’s cat.

Upcoming Flux House publications will take many forms and formats, with each release having a distinct presentation including unique trim-sizes with two publications to be magazine-sized and special print features (like die-cut and fur) and a punch-card dust jacket that reveals a secret message. These publications are personally designed by Kindt to be both books and art objects.
