For those trade-waiting MIND MGMT, Kindt confirmed in the first issue end notes that the extra features -- including some of the short stories -- won't be collected in the trade as a bonus to those who support the monthly series. That said, between the main story, the short stories, the secret notes embedded in each page and what not, it took me a solid 20-30 minutes to get through the first issue. I actually had to read it twice -- once without reading the notes in order to get a flow for the main narrative and then a second time with the notes in order to decipher some of the mysteries. Great stuff!
