Description: VAULT COMICS “Mindset isn't your standard psychological thriller. In fact, it turns the entire genre on its head, introducing a wildly fresh take on mind control and the dangers of social media and influencer marketing. ” - Comic Watch “Mindset would’ve been on the list of best series of the year on the strength of its art and premise alone. The theme of cell phone and internet influence over our free will is incredibly important to our modern-day life. But, coupled with the thrilling story of big tech mystery and the multilayered exploration of existential themes, I would argue that Mindset is the very best comic series of the year.” - Major Spoilers “One of the most compelling and relevant books on the stands.” - CBR (Comic Book Resources) In this Issue: When an introverted tech geek accidentally discovers mind control, he and his friends do something unexpected • they put the science into a meditation app to help users break their technology addiction. But as their Mindset app achieves a dangerous cult following, lies, conspiracies, and murder come to light. Are they helping people or controlling them? Free your mind. Who’s in control? Our take: Just optioned for Movie and TV development by Avengers actor Don Cheadle's production company, Mindset is an engaging technothriller with a story that succeeds as a comic but which, as anyone reading the first issue will recognize with each and every page, will truly excel in more visual and auditory media. Mindset succeeds both because it touches on aspects of life so familiar to literally anyone who has ever used a smartphone as well as because its story will also appeal to and resonate with fans of Image's The Department of Truth, Netflix's Black Mirror and YouTube's The Why Files?, not to mention anyone who follows subjects like Elon Musk, Facebook, Artificial Intelligence, secret government programs like MK Ultra, or the latest news, movers and shakers out of California's Silicon Valley. With all those ingredients baked into a story with the recognized potential that a leap into a different medium would truly allow it be all it can be, Kaplan and Pearson clearly had their own minds set on vistas beyond comics long before their first issue dropped. That they succeeded is a credit to their vision, and a real reason for fans to be excited for the future of Mindset. Highly Recommended.
