This volume is impressive, but below par to volume 1. I see this volume a character development, it's about brining the team together. Again there are many twists and turns and several engaging moments that make me in awe of Kindt all over again. Such a talented story teller.

It gets even crazier! I really like what Kindt is doing with this series. Layers within layers.

Oh my, it finally happened - as off now, I am officially a Matt Kindt fan. I love the way Kindt undermines the seemingly generic, pulpy surface (spies, secret agents, shootouts, murder, etc.) of MIND MGMT with a personal DIY aesthetic, and with underlying, very serious and relevant themes of government corruption, propaganda, and social control. The pulpy surface provides the cheap thrills we crave, ensuring that things never feel preachy, but there is more to Kindt's cartooning than meets the e...

Meru and Lyme are being hunted by Lyme's former boss as they try to get out ahead and warn other former Mind Mgmt agents. The book continues to be trippy, with stories in the margins and footers. (I suggest you read a physical copy as it's hard to turn a digital device on its side without it reorienting.) There are agents with all kinds of mental powers. Just when you think you know where the book is headed the story flips on its ear. The subversive nature of the book will have you second guess...

Okay, before we begin... tell me the guy on the cover for issue 7 (sorry, couldn’t find good pic for review) don’t look like Cyril Figgis. (⬆️For those of you who don’t know who Cyril Figgis is. BTW, watch Archer!)So this is what he’s doing nowadays.What’s it about?Holy shit, this is a super complex book and I don’t even know where to begin with that question except for the description I gave in my review for volume 1.Why it gets 5 stars:The story is great and interesting. In this volume we see

Arrghh! Even more margin writing! Aside from that obnoxious formatting, this book definitely grows from the last volume, ratcheting up the tension as former Mind MGMT agents are being rounded up by two separate groups for reasons not clearly explained. And even as Meru and Lyme gather allies, tensions within the group are growing, as questions of whom in the group is trustworthy are not being answered. The artwork is as strong as the first volume, with the unique watercolor style working well. M...

A required entry to get from A-Z of Matt Kindt's awesome story. As such, only a 3 out of 5 as nothing really new is explored in Volume Two. New characters are introduced and Henry Lyme is quickly recruiting old members of Mind Management while keeping Meru (who no doubt is a huge piece of the puzzle) as close to him as possible. That is all volume two is; taking the world that volume 1 created and getting us to what will become (or so I believe) the second act.Mind Management as a whole, so far,...

This is a really entertaining book.I made a bunch of food in the crock pot recently. I promise this relates back to this book. Just hang on a sec. Crock Pot food on Pinterest is bullshit. Utter bullshit. Here are the foods you can make in the Crock Pot. This is a complete and exhaustive list:*Pulled Pork*Spaghetti Sauce*Chili*Non-noodle, Non-rice Soups*Queso and other Melty Party CheesesThat's it. The rest is garbage and bullshit.I made:Chicken, Rice and BroccoliThis dish turned out to be someth...

A psychic team, Mind Management, solves complicated cases… How to describe it: Thomas Pynchon meets Philip K. Dick, one reviewer says. Lost. And as with Lost, you are lost in places, and that's part of the mode of storytelling world we're living in. In this one, there are stories told in the margins, footnotes on the margins… Paranoid psychic thriller, where the subconscious figures in the telling as much as conscious rational-logical whodunnitry, with superb art that fits the weirdness/paranoia...

Good if not quite as compelling as the first. This series is still going strong.

This volume takes Mind Mgmt up to the next level by creating a complex, layered, multi-leveled story. The main plot line about the continuing exposure of Mind Mgmt is great and the characters (new and old alike) are enjoyable, but the book really excels in the way it deftly melds together multiple narratives in sometimes surprising ways.Superb!

Mind MGMT returns us to the world of Meru and Henry Lyme. Joining them this time are more agents of Mind Management, including Duncan, who can seem to see the future.Meru was more of a main character in the first book and she comes across as more of a mysterious character here, and since the first book introduced so much of the world, the book didn't have quite the paranoid feel of the first one. Good points include an easier to follow storyline (or maybe I'm just used to the world), and an inte...

There's more to this story than appears at first glance, not that that should surprise anybody. We meet more agents and begin to get a sense of where the story might be going. What drives this series is Kindt's masterful handling of psychic powers. We've seen this sort of tale countless times before, but rarely handled this cleverly or believably. There's a sense of paranoia that has one frantically scanning the page for hidden meanings in backgrounds and seemingly casual poses. The story isn't

This is truly a fabulous graphic novel - the second volume of the Mind Mgt series - both the artwork and text by Kindt are fantastic, truly evocative of the semi-hallucinatory/paranoid world of the Mind Mgt organization and the efforts of the "dropouts" or "retirees" to team up, and fight the organization. There are multiple parallel stories, flashbacks, flashforwards, yet every thread is woven together skillfully to advance the narrative. The reader will truly become absorbed in the fast-paced

When I reviewed Mind Mgmt Vol 1, I had hoped that there wouldn't be a sequel, because the story felt finished, in that sense that there would still be mystery, but because it was so well told it could rest there in it's glittering wrapping and satin bow.Well, Matt Kindt had a bigger story to tell. It's obvious it was there all along, and to read Volume 1 is like peering at a map of the world with a magnifying glass. The Futurist has us step back a little, let the scope expand. Mind Management is...

Illustrations : WatercolorsAfter reading Volume 1, I was not sure whether this plot was genius or crap. The line between the two is a fine one, I think. Apparently, I'm one of the few readers who have decided this story is crap. I suppose people who are into spies and espionage would be in to this. In Volume 2, the story seems to expand without answering questions to the many mysteries in the first volume. I get the feeling everything is going to keep expanding and never make any sense. Kind of

Yeah, so... dang.There's really no way to improve on this series. I mean, the story, the art, the fucking layout! It's all perfect. We've got people who can literally manipulate reality with their minds, each in their own special way, and meanwhile Matt Kindt's got this watercolor/mixed media art that actually gives you the impression that reality isn't so... solid, so defined, like you know how watercolor is, right? Some of it is seeping outside the lines. And then there's this layout where the...

I still really like this series, though the story here re-treads some of the same ground as in the first collection. I guess that's kind of the point, as protagonist Meru has to have the wool removed from her eyes, but it still feels a bit too repetitive. Basically, Mind Mgmt is a government agency filled with people who have a variety of mind control or mind-altering powers: an advertising executive can make people want or do things via advertisements; another operative has the power to see the...

The 1st reading (2018):The story and overall structure of the book got better. Now Kindt's interesting art actually helps to tell a story. And the world-building is better than ever: it's like a deep dive in mind mgmt agency.However, the book references the first volume too much. To a degree of me getting a deja vu. Which makes it predictable. Also, most characters in the book are simply assholes. Like different versions of Kilgrave from Jessica Jones. I don't care who of them does what and who

The story in this series is soooooo good. Love it.
