MIND MGMT Volume Four: The Magician
Created, Written & Illustrated by Matt Kindt
Dark Horse Books, 2014
I love this series, but once again I let it drop off my radar. The group we've been following is still trying to stop Mind Management's re-formation. Meru's power-damping ability is proving to be something of a liability, because no one knows quite how it works, or what kind of distance it affects. In this arc it botches the team's effort to recruit a powerful ex-agent called The Magician, whose power is the ability to create powerful illusions. Leads take them to Berlin and Hong Kong, with organizational exploits from the 1960s through the 1980s having an impact on the present. This arc includes a "silent" issue (with the characters "speaking" entirely through their thoughts). The agents run into some very violent ex-agents on the side of The Eraser, who is trying to re-establish Mind Management. Bad things happen, but these people seem to be very hard to kill,
