MIND MGMT, Volume Two: The Futurist by Matt Kindt
4.0
The best part about this collection? The recap of the previous volume at the start. Which I was very grateful for as it's been something like 3+ years since I first read volume one.
I love the art style in this. Not just the literal drawings, which have a wonderful sketchy rough quality to them, but the way Kindt uses the page and pannels in such a creative way. This isn't "just" basic storyboarding, he takes full advantage of the comics medium to tell his story - which yes can be annoying with the text written in the margins, but it's nice to see something different all the same.
As for the story itself, I really enjoyed it. Complex and gripping, with plenty of twists and turns and mysteries. I wouldn't say the characters have that much depth, characterisation takes a backseat to plot, but it's clear that not everyone is who they seem that there's a lot of secrets still to come out.
