Mind MGMT #15

Matt Kindt's Mind MGMT has always excelled at unsettling the mundane, and issue #15 leans into that with quiet, creeping dread. The cover — rendered in Kindt's signature loose watercolor style — depicts an ordinary-looking man in a green apron and tinted glasses methodically working over a tray overflowing with human brains, the mock-magazine tagline "Fix Yourself: 15 Tricks to Get Your Hands Dirty" adding a darkly comic layer to the whole disturbing scene. It's the kind of image that stops you cold before you've even cracked the spine, a perfect encapsulation of why this Dark Horse Originals series earned such devoted readers in 2013.
