Issue #1

Mr. Cherish presents himself as a generous patron, scouting emerging talent and funding the careers of promising young artists. Behind that mask he is a killer who treats his chosen artists as future victims.

Painter Matty Barnes draws Cherish's attention and appears set to be the next name on that list. Writer Christian Ward and artist John J. Pearson build a tense study of art, ambition, and predation.

Pearson hand paints the fine art that runs through the issue, shifting his style for each artist Cherish has touched.
