Patron #1 (Cover A - Christian Ward)

(W) Christian Ward (A) John J. Pearson (CA) Christian Ward (C) John J. Pearson
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 proteges' 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).
