The Mind MGMT comic book series lasted 36 issues, containing enough must-read material for six volumes.

4) We Have A Female Protagonist!

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kindt describes Mia, "She's based on several Indian friends that I've known over the years, and I really wanted to explore a character with a different cultural identity than characters I've tackled in the past. I think the themes of family and women in roles of authority (and not) were also things that sort of came up naturally as I was writing the series."

3) The Colors! The Colors!

If you have read Kindt's previous works, such as Pistolwhip, Super Spy, and Sisters, then fans know a large part of his illustration work is distinguished by water colors. This time around, Dept H was a collaborative effort with his wife, Sharlene. You have to see see how Sharlene's water colors add a flair of mystery and suspense to the undersea atmosphere.
