In the comics, do the Reach have some sort of hive mind or shared consciousness or anything?

I get the idea that the Mode is some sort of link between them, perhaps controlling. When Neutron went Off-Mode he stopped acting like a villain and became confused, similarly Jaime's Scarab is Off-Mode and clearly out of the Reach's control. If so "crashing the Mode" - i.e. severing the link between them - could be key to defeating them. Which fits Bart's "future slang"; Moded = enslaved (bad), Crash = liberated (good).
