Mind MGMT #26

Matt Kindt's Mind MGMT presents its cover as a six-step instructional sequence, rendered in loose, sketchy pencil work that gives the whole thing the feel of a classified training manual. The panels walk through a confrontation between a woman and a heavily geared soldier — escalating from a tense standoff to a knife-drawn clash, culminating in a burst of vivid red as the soldier staggers away and she stands calmly victorious. It's a quietly striking design that captures the series' blend of espionage cool and understated menace perfectly.
