Matt Kindt is back with a new project, and it looks fascinating. His highly anticipated anthology, 'Flux House Presents #1', hits shelves this October from Oni Press. Kindt, celebrated for his mind-bending thrillers like Mind MGMT and Dept. H, isn't flying solo. He's gathered a stellar lineup for this inaugural issue, featuring Ella Kindt, long-time collaborator Brian Hurtt, and David Lapham.

The "Flux House" moniker itself hints at something more than a typical anthology. Is this the genesis of a new creative collective or an imprint? Oni Press, a publisher renowned for championing creator-owned comics, is the perfect home. This series promises innovative storytelling from one of indie comics' most singular voices. Get ready.

Reading the six

Counted letter by letter this headline comes to 249 — 6 once reduced. The weight sits in “Anthology”, which carries 45 on its own and reduces to 9.

The 6 governs care, community, and the weight of duty. Its named subject, Matt Kindt, reads as a 4 (builder & organizer), so the report and the thing it describes are pulling in different directions. It is a lens rather than a verdict, but it is a consistent one: the 6's pull toward responsibility, care, and the people involved is the pressure under this report.

Split the headline again and the vowels give a Heart's Desire of 9 (reckoning) against a Personality of 6 (responsibility) in the consonants — reckoning underneath, responsibility on the surface. The gap between them is where the story is most interesting.

The Care asks one thing of everything on it: name the people this was answerable to. The 6 smothers. The same instinct that protects a readership produces the paternalism several of these entries document. The other reports that reduce to 6 are collected on The Care.

Catzye Take

This could signal a major new creative hub for Matt Kindt, beyond just a single series. Fans of his intricate, layered storytelling should keep a close eye on "Flux House." It's exciting to see Oni Press continuing to back unique creator-owned visions like this. Numerologically this is a 6, which is why it is shelved with the care — audiences, communities, and who a story is responsible to.
