The Year’s Most Acclaimed and Mind-Bending New Series Returns to Shelves – Only from Oni Press and Flux House

H) comics masterpiece, beginning this November in of MIND MGMT: NEW AND IMPROVED #5!

When Detectives Swon and Delphi are together, nothing can take them by surprise—or maybe that’s what Mind Management wants them to believe. But their professional bond and uncanny abilities are about to be tested in more ways than one as Swon’s feelings for his partner begin to deepen, and Deplhi experiences the full-on cognitive shellshock of another operative’s tragic mission gone wrong. If only Swon’s extrasensory cognition could let him see into the future . . . But, even if he did, it would already be too late.
