Matt Kindt


- I just finished reading both of Matt Kindt's graphic novels, Super Spy and 2 Sisters. Super Spy is obviously a spy thriller, its about about cyanide, pen-guns, heartbreak and betrayal. It takes place during World War II and spans the countries of Spain, France, and Germany following the life of six spies and their intersecting relationships. It was named one of the Top 10 Graphic Novels of the Year by Booklist and the "Indie book of the year!" by Wizard. 2 Sisters is another World War II spy thriller that spans both continents and centuries. From England to Spain, from ancient Rome through the era of pirates and buccaneers, this is the backdrop for the unique tale of two sisters, their relationship, and the secrets they share. Both books were amazing, I couldn't put either of them down. The stories and the illustrations are genius and unlike anything I've seen in a graphic novel before. Super Spy continues to win Matt Kindt prestigious awards in the comic world and he is working on two new books that I can't wait for. Check out his website for limited edition prints and other information and also check out his blog to stay up to date on what's happening next in this exciting artists life.
