Spanning the globe from Spain to France and Germany, this book takes the reader on a tour of the everyday life of the spy. From the small lies and deceptions to the larger secrets that everyone hides, Super Spy reveals the nature of espionage and how an individual can be lost and also find redemption.

MIND MGMT has got me for the long haul. If you are a fan of mysteries, if you are a fan of Kindt, if you are a fan of comics: pick this up!”
—ComicsBulletin.com Five-Star Review
 
“Combines all the elements I love—conspiracies, morally ambiguous characters, nonlinear storytelling. Awesome.”
—David S. Goyer, co-writer of The Dark Knight and Man of Steel

“Matt Kindt is the man. Superb series.”
—Junot Díaz, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Brief  Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

“Every step of [MIND MGMT] is as thrilling as it is original. You will be surprised. Shocked. Entertained. And if you’re like me, you will be desperate for more.”—Damon Lindelof, creator of Lost
 
MIND MGMT is the best comic out there!”—Jeff Lemire, creator of Black Hammer and Sweet Tooth
 
“A ferociously smart and brilliantly inventive page turner of a mystery.”—Scott Snyder, writer of Batman, Superman Unchained, and The Wake

“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
