“MIND MGMT, Volume Six: The Immortals”

“Great, great series.

It’s got a bunch of metaphysical horseshit, but presented in a way that grounds the horseshit in…I guess horeseshit is pretty grounded all the time, but you get me.

This is a really cool series, and I’m disappointed I didn’t hear more about it. If you’re a believer that the ultimate compliment for comics is saying a book should totally be a TV series, this should totally be a TV series. It would be great. And then it would get crappy because that’s what happens, especially when they kinda have to deviate from the book a lot to make sure the readers will watch, and when they run out of books to follow, and because TV doesn’t end when the story ends often enough, it ends about 2 seasons after the story ends when people figure out it’s not working anymore.

But I really liked this. It’s pretty darn original, and while it feels like it treads on the periphery of familiar things, it’s really interesting at its core.

I really didn’t enjoy Matt Kindt’s Red Handed, and that kept me off this book way too long. I wish I’d given the guy another chance sooner because this is one of those books that I want to tell people about and tell them to read. Proof that there are some original voices and artists in the world of comics who are doing really good things.

Thanks, Mr. Kindt. My only critique of this book is that I went too long without it. Which is really a critique of myself. Which is my specialty anyway, so no big shocker there.”
