From the New York Times bestselling creators of BANG! comes a mind-bending, multi-dimensional murder mystery presented in a pulp magazine-sized format!

A man is living two lives. He is a private detective in a dystopian cyberpunk future trying to solve a triple murder. But when he falls asleep—he wakes up as a wandering adventurer in a barbaric fantasy world where magic exists. Is he two separate people? Or is he a third person that has undergone a psychotic split? He jumps back and forth from sword-wielding barbarian to jaded private eye trying to solve the brutal crime. But the bigger question is, can he merge these realities without losing himself?

Subgenre is the latest release from Flux House Books, a new boutique imprint that will feature the writing (and sometimes) art of acclaimed comics creator Matt Kindt, with crime, science fiction, horror, and humor stories, all told and presented in startling and untraditional ways.

Collects Subgenre #1–#4.

Praise for Matt Kindt:

“MIND MGMT is the best comic out there!”—Jeff Lemire, creator of Black Hammer and Sweet Tooth

“Matt Kindt is a storyteller so fully in control of his gifts that his graphic novels read like quietly compelling arguments for the comics medium's narrative potential.”—NPR

“In an industry packed with franchise superheroics and licensed properties, Kindt is one of the creators leading the charge with unique concepts and innovative storytelling.”—COMICS ALLIANCE

BANG! is a fun, twisty spy thriller with a great meta-twist.”—Jay Faerber

"Thanks to Kindt and Torres we finally have our Idris Elba James Bond, and it’s exactly as cool as you imagined.”—Jeff Parker

"Imagine James Bond being abducted by David Lynch and forced into a maze that shifts with every step forward. The ground is unsteady. The walls of reality move. This is the world of BANG!, a spy thriller expertly conducted by Kindt and Torres, a mystery box that truly starts off with a . . . Well. You know.”—Van Jensen

“A great f——d up blend of James Bond and Tintin.”—Keanu Reeves
