Matt Kindt is a great comic creator and a friend of the blog. He was behind the popular and cool series, "MIND MGMT," and it seems a, "New & Improved," version/series is coming soon. This was promoted at the big ComicsPro 2026 annual event in a clever way. As opposed to being announced at a panel as some upcoming comics were, attendees woke up to notice a flyer slide into the room via their hotel doors--not unlike how hotels used to slide a little bill under there before the rise of the internet. It had a phone number you could call for a, "Test," that then sent you a text with a link to a promotional website.
Eventually, visitors will find the promotion for, "MIND MGMT: New & Improved," due to be released in June via Oni (it used to be published by Dark Horse). To add to the intrigue, a bunch if billboard trucks were driving around outside the event with little animated signs about calling the number. It is a quirky and clever way to promote the new comic! ComicsPro's annual meeting has grown into quite the affair for comic retailers that brings in publishers, distributors, and more. It's not a convention so much as an industry event, but it clearly has an impact and shows how ComicsPro is itself an important organization.
