Kindt has stated that he creates comic books because he enjoys the "magical" effect created by the combination of words and pictures. His target audience for his books are his wife and daughter, who did not grow up enjoying comics as he did. In 2001,
Top Shelf Productions published
Pistolwhip, which Kindt created with Jason Hall. The book was critically well-received, nominated for the prestigious
Harvey Award the next year, and featured in
Time Magazine's Top 10 list for Graphic Novels. He has illustrated two
Pistolwhip spin-offs (
Mephisto and the Empty Box and
Pistolwhip 2) and written his own, 300-page graphic novel,
Two Sisters, as well as maintaining a regular webcomic set in the
Sisters universe, called
Super Spy. In 2006, Kindt announced on his blog that he would be writing an experimental novel called
The End of the World. The book has been completed, but Kindt now plans to adapt it into a graphic novel. In 2007, the collected
Super Spy was published by Top Shelf. 2008 saw the collected
Super Spy nominated for the
Eisner Award for Best Graphic Novel: Reprint. In March 2010, a
Super Spy short story appeared on Dark Horse's
Dark Horse Presents MySpace web comic. Kindt released
Revolver in 2010, published by
DC Comics'
Vertigo imprint. His ongoing series
MIND MGMT,
Pastaways, and
Dept. H were released by Dark Horse Comics. He published 5-issue fantasy series
Folklords, illustrated by
Matt Smith, in 2020. In 2021, Kindt partnered with actor
Keanu Reeves and artist
Ron Garney to create
BRZRKR through
Boom! Studios. The book's release received wide media coverage and became the highest-ordered monthly comic book in the
Direct Market since 1991. ==Awards==
