INTERVIEW: Matt Kindt’s Return to MIND MGMT Wants Readers to Drop The Needle

Over its original 36 issue run at Dark Horse, Matt Kindt’s seminal work Mind MGMT was all the engagement of X-Files, Lost, and 24 kicked into some stellar comic book panels. Now, Kindt is coming back to his creation in order to do a Mind MGMT story no mere comic could solely contain, a record. […]

“Mind MGMT” Editor Brendan Wright Leaves Dark Horse Comics to go Freelance

Today, Dark Horse editor Brendan Wright announced his departure from the company via Twitter.  The Grindhouse and Mind MGMT editor got an early jump on his comics career at the company, taking on an editorial assistant position at the age of 24, and has remained there for the seven years since then. The news is surprising, given that […]

Uniting and Dividing The Valiant Universe with Matt Kindt [Interview]

Valiant’s relaunch has been an incredible success, but what’s been most interesting is that the company have been able to balance commercial success with creative success. If you look at reviews for any of their titles, you’ll find that the reaction to every single one has been positive. And that goes for their newest launch, […]

On the Scene: Denver Comic Con 2013, Pioneering Souls in Artists Valley

The floorspace for Artists Valley at Denver Comic Con was expansive, and positioned between the vendor and publisher areas in the front and the celebrity signing booths and food court at the back. It was almost arranged like a centrepiece, and to judge from the ethos of the con, that was intentional. A wide range […]

Is Dark Horse Entering a Golden Age?

Is Dark Horse Entering a Golden Age?

Dark Horse appears to be increasing their list of titles at a gradual but steady pace, with some laudable caution but what seems to be a specific agenda to build on their successes rather than simply allowing those successes to maintain their reputation over time. Many readers have been following the publisher’s works since their […]

MEGA-INTERVIEW with Matt Kindt: ‘find the territory that nobody has staked out yet’

MEGA-INTERVIEW with Matt Kindt: ‘find the territory that nobody has staked out yet’

Interviewing Matt Kindt at WonderCon brought with it some unusual circumstances. Just prior to speaking to Kindt, I had the opportunity to hear him talk about his career history in a mammoth 90 minute panel interview, which I later covered for The Beat. This posed a serious question: what could I possibly ask him about […]

On the Scene: WonderCon 2013, Matt Kindt on MIND MGMT and Being Happy

You’d be forgiven if you think of Matt Kindt as a breakaway success, since the “slow and steady” approach that’s defined his career so far looks like a sprint to the finish line with the explosive success of MIND MGMT from Dark Horse. Educator and author Travis Langley (Batman and Psychology) sat down with Kindt […]
