All the great artists have one thing in common...they’re dead. A true patron of the fine arts- Mr. Cherish has dedicated his life to scouting and supporting emerging artists- launching countless unknowns from obscurity into industry superstardom. Unfortunately for these young artists- the secret to Cherish’s success is their untimely demise. Nothing makes a work of art more desirable and valuable to collectors than the passing of its creator- and Cherish has refined his ability to orchestrate spectacular tragedies without leaving a trace…before selling his dead protégés’ oeuvres for massive profits. Painter Matty Barnes is primed to become Cherish’s next “hit”—but when the script is flipped on this latest murder- a posthumous twist calls the artist’s fate and legacy into question putting the patron’s empire in the dueling crosshairs of law enforcement and a merciless third-party connoisseur. Writer Christian Ward (Batman: City of Madness- Event Horizon) and artist John J. Pearson (The Department of Truth- The Infernals) put their own life’s work on the page in a highbrow thriller at the bloody intersection of art and commerce! Both creators will contribute a full series of variant covers- alongside a special incentive cover on #1 by Eisner Award-winning artist Anand RK (Deicidium- The Beauty).
