Hey, it’s Zack!
Third newsletter this year and with good cause…
Vault Comics' MINDSET TPB release day!
I am so freaking pumped to have this book out and control everyone's minds, I mean, to give them an amazing comics experience. The buzz has been insane and for all those trade-waiters, now is your chance.
And if you're saying, hey Zack, we saw it last week and we picked it up - well lucky you! Vault Comics had moved the on sale date to June 7th, but it would seem a mix-up with the distributors might have put it out last week to some stores. But if you were one of the few to snatch it last week, great! Otherwise, this week is your chance!
For those of you who just subscribed to my newsletter and don’t know anything about this book (I’ve been screaming about it for a year)…
MINDSET is about a group of tech geeks who discover a form of mind control, put the science into a meditation app to help users break their technology addictions. But after a wake of murders, a series of mind games, and a cult following of a billion users, they must ask the question – are they helping people or controlling them? It's a murder mystery, an edge-of-your-seat thriller and one crazy mind control adventure!
And the graphic novel collects all six issues, a 184 amazing pages, which is a freaking ton of content for one trade. If you like comic series like DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH or NICE HOUSE ON A LAKE, movies like SOCIAL NETWORK or TV shows like SEVERANCE, then check out MINDSET!
Seriously, John, Hass, everyone at Vault Comics and I are all just so proud of this book, we worked tirelessly to create an amazing techno noir thriller that will frighten you, engross you, make you think and blow you away with some ground-breaking artwork.
So get one for yourself, one for a friend and help spread the mind control!
John and I had an amazing chat with the Paneloids Podcast, so if you are interested, give that a listen here. It’s also on Apple and Spotify and other spots!
It would seem FOREVER FORWARD TPB, the last trade I have coming from my 2022 releases, has been delayed a bit due to Scout Comics schedule - but it will be coming in 2024, so stay tuned for that!
I will be attending The American Librarian’s Annual Convention in Chicago on June 24-25 and I’ll be at both Vault Comics and Dark Horse’s booths/panels!
I will also be at San Diego Comic Con - more to come on appearance times.
My next creator-owned comic will announce in July. You all ready?
Until next time, thanks for supporting Mindset!
And thanks for reading!
