Ignition Press
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).

All comics are bagged and boarded
If you order comics with different release dates, and you choose shipping, all items will ship when the last of your items is released. If you would like them to ship on individual release dates, you must order them separately.
LIMIT 1 PER CUSTOMER. Because we can not control shortages or issues from distributors, we may not be able to fully fill all orders. This is pretty rare, but if this happens, we will contact you and either offer you credit for other comics or offer you a refund for the unavailable books.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL. We are not able to control distributor delays or shortages. If the items you order are late getting to us, we will ship them as soon as they arrive. If the items you order do not arrive at our store or the items are damaged upon arrival at our store, we will offer you a refund or replacement.
