MIND MGMT (2012)

"Matt Kindt, the most original voice in genre comics, outdoes himself in this bold new espionage series! Reporting on a commercial flight where everyone aboard lost their memories, a young journalist stumbles onto a much bigger story, the top-secret Mind Management program. Her ensuing journey involves weaponized psychics, hypnotic advertising, talking dolphins, and seemingly immortal pursuers, as she attempts to find the flight's missing passenger, the man who was Mind MGMT's greatest success-and its most devastating failure. But in a world where people can rewrite reality itself, can she trust anything she sees?"

"Matt Kindt's cutting-edge spy-fi series continues! Young journalist Meru's investigation into MIND MGMT, an espionage unit of psychic spies, and the rogue field agent whose defection nearly destroyed the entire operation becomes even more complicated when the CIA takes an interest! But whose side are they on? As the story takes her from Mexico to Zanzibar, Meru discovers more clues about MIND MGMT's history and encounters some of its victims, all while pursued by tireless Immortals!"

"As Meru's investigation of MIND MGMT takes her to China and its 'miracle dolphins,' she begins to realize that the clues she's been following have been intentionally left for her. What do the horrors she's seen on her journey have to do with a psychic espionage agency dating back to WWI, and why does its most notorious defector, Henry Lyme, want Meru to find him? "

"After following his trail around the world, Meru has finally found the missing passenger from the Amnesia Flight, but as he tells his story, she learns the mystery goes much deeper. In the first of two parts, witness the history of the secret MIND MGMT agency, revealed by the psychic spy who nearly destroyed it from within. And as Meru listens, the Immortals are only a few steps behind!"

"The secret origin of MIND MGMT's greatest agent concludes, with the revelation of his final days at the agency. A gifted psychic able to control the emotions of others, Henry Lyme fell apart when he began to fear that the love of his wife and the admiration of his peers were lies created by his abilities. And when so powerful a mind becomes unhinged, it wreaks terrible destruction on all around it!"

"Henry Lyme's past is revealed, but investigator Meru wasn't prepared for Lyme's shocking confession about tragedies in her own life. Learning that her world-spanning journey has been just another part of the psychic spy's game, Meru fights back, as MIND MGMT's first arc reaches its twist-filled climax!"

"We've learned some of the secrets of Henry Lyme; now get ready to meet the rest of MIND MGMT, beginning with the Ad Man! With the remains of MIND MGMT on Lyme's tail, the former spy is forced to seek help from other defectors. "

"The psychic-spy agency Mind Management is being rebuilt, and Henry Lyme, the agent who brought it down the first time, will do anything to stop it! The next stop in Lyme's recruitment drive brings he and investigator Meru to a quiet university where another defector teaches, but when the agents on their tail arrive, everything goes to hell! More secrets come out and the danger rises as MIND MGMT's second arc heats up!"

"The fight against the shadowy Mind Management organization spreads to the Middle East! The race is on, as former agent Henry Lyme and investigator Meru rush to recruit assets like the Musician-whose pop music influences the politics and unrest in Egypt-before MIND MGMT does!"

"Only the Futurist can help Lyme and Meru find Mind Management's hidden training ground, Shangri-la. But how can they track a man who knows their every move before they do?"
