A lone boy could save the operation, but at what cost?<\/span>\n\nSix years ago, deep in space aboard the Arno, young Oliver spends his days in school, with his little brother and his family, and\u2014as the imaginary Space Boy\u2014battling Wargles. When he\u2019s given a family heirloom, a compass, he and his father, Wyatt, are led to the discovery that the ship may be in grave danger. Hundreds of years into the mission to reach the alien artifact, Wyatt is determined to investigate his suspicions. But when his probing leads nowhere, he is rebuked, demoted, and ironically thrust into the source of the danger . . . Disaster aboard the craft leaves only Oliver to face a choice that will drive the course of the rest of his life, all while he must learn to cope with his new reality. Can he continue the voyage to reach the artifact?<\/span>\n\nIn the present, Oliver\u2019s new earthbound friend, Amy, was kidnapped during the South Pines homecoming dance by agents of the organization that is running his mission, the First Contact Project.

His works include MIND MGMT<\/em>, BRZRKR<\/em>, Eniac<\/em>, Revolver<\/em>, 3 Story<\/em>, Super Spy<\/em>, 2 Sisters<\/em>, Pistolwhip<\/em> and Dept H<\/em>. <\/span>\n\nHi Matt, we are so excited to have you here with us. We have to say congratulations to you on your new imprint Flux House.<\/span>\n\nYour Flux House imprint is launching in July; can you tell us about the origins of Flux House?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nI saw Salvador Dali\u2019s lobster phone at the museum. If you haven\u2019t seen it, it\u2019s exactly what you\u2019d imagine. I was looking at that phone and I saw an artist who was constantly having ideas or \u201cnotions.\u201d The ideas weren\u2019t always painting. Probably always surreal. But most importantly \u2013 I saw an artist having fun. It\u2019s ridiculous. Fun. Looks cool. That idea came from someone who\u2019d been doing what he was doing so long that he was just having a great time making things. <\/span>\n\nThat\u2019s this. So now, imagine that the lobster phone actually had an interesting narrative attached to it. Back story. Characters you care about. And imagine that that story told in comic book form. But the book is a little odd, Bigger. Smaller. Maybe covered in hair because that story is about an evil reincarnated Egyptian cat. Or maybe the book is about spies so the cover is a paper grocery bag so it can be \u201cdisguised\u201d on the shelf at your local comic shop. That\u2019s Flux House. It\u2019s a dash of the absurd and the fun \u2013 but connected to narrative that has heart and soul. Not just art for art\u2019s sake \u2013 even though on the surface it might seem it. <\/span>\n\n $\"mgmtlogo\"$ \n\nYou have been working with Dark Horse since 2010; what is it about Dark Horse that you enjoy working with them?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nThey published 3 Story: The Secret History of the Giant Man<\/em> years ago \u2013 and have supported me ever since. Mike Richardson is running things and he just has this rare pure love of comics. He\u2019s been a champion of my stuff for as long as I\u2019ve known him. And he and all the staff at Dark Horse have supported and believed in me over the years to the point they\u2019re trusting me to push comics as far as they can go\u2026or at least as far as I can get them. I want to make books that you don\u2019t just have on your shelf \u2013 but when your friends come over \u2013 that book is the one they pick up and ask \u201cwhat\u2019s this?\u201d<\/span>\n\n $\"mindmgmtboot1b\"$ \n\nFor anyone unfamiliar with MIND MGMT<\/em>, how would you describe it?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nShort answer is \u201cspies with mind powers.\u201d But now imagine reading a book about that \u2014 but the book you\u2019re reading is actually a recruiting tool that is trying to get you to become a secret agent. A book that is literally trying to tap into the abilities and thoughts you have\u2026and exploit them. That\u2019s kind of what it\u2019s like. It\u2019s a book, a story, a single issue that is always going to be more than it seems. There are hidden messages. Subliminal messages. And a fun spy\/action\/mind-bender of a story.<\/span>\n\n $\"mindmgmtboot17\"$ \n\nWhat can you tell us about MIND MGMT: BOOTLEG<\/em>?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nIt has the worlds\u2019 most dense 50-panel comic-book page ever created. The script for that one page is 4 typed pages long. So there\u2019s that. It\u2019s also genuinely a good jumping on point if you\u2019ve never read MIND MGMT. You can start here. In fact \u2013 this series is a recruitment device designed for you to be indoctrinated into the world MIND MGMT. After that, there is the original 36 issue series and a board game. It\u2019s a lot \u2013 but this is the best place to start. Dip your toes in\u2026we\u2019ll let you know if you\u2019re right for it. (laughs)<\/span>\n\n $\"mindmgmtboot18\"$ \n\nWhat is the ethos of Flux House?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nI wrote a letter to the entire team at Dark Horse that kind of went like this: If it\u2019s fun, let\u2019s do it. If we\u2019ve always done it that way? Let\u2019s try it a different way. If we do it that way because all the other ways are a disaster then\u2026well, let\u2019s do it in the way that isn\u2019t a disaster. But however we do it \u2013 when we\u2019re doing it \u2013 let\u2019s not be bored. Do not be bored with the work! Let\u2019s do things that make us nervous \u2013 that might fail \u2013 but if they don\u2019t \u2013 will be super cool. <\/span>\n\nWhen you were conceiving MIND MGMT: BOOTLEG<\/em>, did you always have the idea of it; being illustrated by other artists?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nDefinitely. I want the series to feel like maybe I didn\u2019t approve of it. Bootleg. Like it got hijacked by some punk artists that didn\u2019t ask me permission. Like those Mexican Spider-Man comics \u2013 that have completely different storylines. It\u2019s Peter Parker but\u2026something is completely different. I want old-readers of the series to be uncomfortable and a little worried and new readers to be\u2026well, uncomfortable and a little worried as well.<\/span>\n\n $\"mindmgmtboot19\"$ \n\nHow did you select the artists working on MIND MGMT: BOOTLEG<\/em>?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nA lot of factors went into it. First \u2013 I\u2019m fans of all of them \u2013 and I\u2019ve worked with them all in the past to a greater or lesser degree. So after that \u2013 it was really just introducing a new character in every issue \u2013 and casting the artist with that character\/story point \u2013 so the art would complement the new character. So the art style and feel of that issue would reflect the character and their unique POV. It was not something I\u2019d ever done before and I think it ended up being great than the sum of parts\u2026it\u2019s crazy in the best way.<\/span>\n\nYou are a writer and an artist; what do you enjoy being more, a writer or an artist?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nI don\u2019t really separate the two. It\u2019s all idea driven. Words and pictures working together. When I\u2019m not drawing it\u2019s more like playing in a band where we complement each other to create this thing where we\u2019re playing separate parts of the same thing. And on my own \u2013 it allows me to really punish myself. 50 panel pages. Extra text on the page edges. See-through covers. Pages designed to be burned, cut, or torn. One of my favorite signings I ever did was with David Rubin when Ether came out \u2013 and he was drawing and signing and then I was drawing a little extra thing on or around his drawing and reacting to it \u2013 every one was different \u2013 and we had these little mini-conversations through art and on the fly\u2026all while he was serving little shots of some coffee liqueur to everyone that showed up. That\u2019s a little microcosm of how books should be made.<\/span>\n\nWhat has it been like collaborating with Farel Dalrymple, Jill Thompson, David Rub\u00edn, and Matt Lesniewski on MIND MGMT: Bootleg?<\/span>\n\nLike sitting at a signing where we all draw on someone\u2019s book and David serves us coffee liqueur. (laughs) \u2013 but not much different. I know I had fun \u2013 and I hope they did \u2013 at least to my face they\u2019ll say it. I realize my scripts for MIND MGMT are\u2026a lot sometimes. But at the end of the day \u2013 we have a series like no other. And I\u2019m still on speaking terms with everyone and I\u2019m still a huge fan of each one of them. I consider that a success. <\/span>\n\n $\"mgmtbook\"$ \n\nWe understand there is a version of MIND MGMT: BOOTLEG <\/em>that comes with a playing card; can you tell us more about this playing card?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nEach issue will have a special MIND MGMT playing card. This is the 53rd card. Designed to work with any deck of standard cards. Ideally \u2013 you get all four and put them into your deck. On the face is all new art \u2013 but also new rules that will make, break, distort, and\/or warp ANY card game you play. I collaborated with the designers that I worked on the MIND MGMT board game with (Jay Cormier and Sen-Foong Lim) and they wrote rules that will work with (or against) almost any game you play.<\/span>\n\nThe beauty of the cards is, they\u2019re art \u2013 you can use them as a bookmark. Or you can put them in a normal deck of cards. When you draw the card \u2013 your opponent(s) will know you have one of the 4 special cards. But they won\u2019t know which one. Paranoia ensues. Are you going to play it? Which one is it? It\u2019s an extra game outside the game. MIND MGMT for real. <\/span>\n\nCan you give us any teasers about future titles releasing from Flux House?<\/span><\/strong>\n\nSure. This is what I have planned for the next two years\u2026without spoiling the titles: <\/span>A \u201csuper\u201d spy, a hulking detective, an evil (maybe) cat, a reporter stranded on a cosmic planet, 1,000 teenage superheroes, a barbarian, and a universe-hopping villain\/hero.<\/span>\n\nA big thank you to Matt for chatting with us; we wish him and <\/span>the rest of the team, the best of luck with Flux House and MIND MGMT: BOOTLEG<\/em>.<\/span>","post_title":"ComicBuzz Chats With Matt Kindt","post_excerpt":"Flux House","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"comicbuzz-chats-with-matt-kindt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-10-07 16:56:47","post_modified_gmt":"2022-10-07 15:56:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=207890","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":207878,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2022-06-27 14:00:21","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-27 13:00:21","post_content":"
