Oni Press confirms its return to Free Comic Book Day 2026 with the MIND MGMT / FORT PSYCHO FCBD 2026 SPECIAL. The issue arrives in comic shops worldwide on May 2, 2026. Participating retailers can order through Universal Distribution and Lunar Distribution.
Introducing FLUX HOUSE
From New York Times best-selling writer and Eisner Award nominee Matt Kindt comes FLUX HOUSE, a new Oni Press imprint built to deliver sharp, high-impact genre comics. The line launches with two new series later this year and previews its tone and ambition on Free Comic Book Day.
Two New Stories Debut on FCBD
The FCBD special features an exclusive double feature with two brand-new short stories.
First up is MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED. Readers enter a shadow agency rumored to shape world events through psychic espionage, assassination, and sabotage. Written and drawn by Kindt, the story serves as a self-contained introduction and doubles as a primer for the new ongoing series launching in June.
The second story previews FORT PSYCHO. Elite operatives SHIV, LYCAN, and DRAGONFLY embark on a routine mission that quickly spirals out of control. Kindt teams with co-creator and artist Brian Hurtt for a high-octane prelude to the series debuting in August.
Oni Press Weighs In
“Like a contraband weapon smuggled into a deep-black, off-the-grid prison under the cover of darkness, Matt Kindt, Brian Hurtt, and even more collaborators yet-to-be revealed have been methodically sharpening the first new titles under the FLUX HOUSE banner at Oni Press into a fine point for maximum impact,” says Oni Press President and Publisher Hunter Gorinson. He adds that the countdown begins on Free Comic Book Day, with even bigger moments arriving when the new series launch in June and August.
What Comes Next for FLUX HOUSE
FLUX HOUSE continues through summer and fall 2026 with three series. MIND MGMT: NEW & IMPROVED #1launches in June. FORT PSYCHO #1 follows in August. FLUX HOUSE PRESENTS #1 arrives in November with new stories from Kindt, Jesse Lonergan, and more.
