Matt Kindt will launch ‘Flux House Presents’ this October

The 64-page quarterly anthology brings together Brian Hurtt, David Lapham, Ella Kindt and Alison Sampson for three self-contained stories.

Matt Kindt’s Flux House imprint is adding to its line-up this fall, with the addition of a quarterly anthology titled Flux House Presents.

The 64-page debut issue, coming from Oni Press, features three stories: the double-sized first chapter of “Spark,” a two-parter about a young woman and her hunter-gatherer community fighting to survive a harsh change of seasons; “Room 101,” a Kindt/David Lapham collaboration about a derelict motel room that opens onto doorways across time and space; and a new tale spun out of Kindt and Brian Hurtt’s Fort Psycho. The anthology’s contributors also include Alison Sampson and Ella Kindt makes her interior art coloring debut on the issue, alongside artist .

“I really miss the weird anthology. From the classic DHP to the one-man show of Eightball, Negative Burn and Taboo,” Kindt said. “I want to channel that weird unexpected fun on every page with pulp and horror and sci-fi. I want to bring back short form comics — where even a 2-page story can change your life. And give creators a chance to play and experiment.”

Matt Kindt’s Flux House will publish ‘Spy Superb’

Kindt and his wife Sharlene will team up once again for the story of a spy who doesn’t know he’s a spy.

Super Spy creator Matt Kindt will go undercover once again in Spy Superb, which stars a different sort of secret agent — one who doesn’t even know they’re a spy.

Kindt will team with his wife, Sharlene Kindt, who he worked with on Dept H. It’ll come out from Flux House, Kindt’s new imprint at Dark Horse.

“In Spy Superb I wanted to explore a character, the idea of a very average person who is under the belief that he is utterly exceptional,” said Kindt. “There is a scientific term for this–The Dunning-Kruger effect–a person who insists they possess knowledge and skills that they obviously do not. What if a super spy was suffering from this? Well…they would of course be a…SPY SUPERB. It was actually really hard for me to keep this character alive past issue #1… there are hit men after him…a super assassin who kills only with rock, paper, and scissors… and a real super spy working in the shadows of our “hero” who may actually be the real spy superb. It feels really great to be drawing a new book–and I’m beyond happy that Sharlene Kindt is painting it. It’s definitely the most ambitious collaboration we’ve ever had.”
