They have a new series releasing in a few months called The Patron. This is a new series with an all-star creative team that includes:

• Writer: Christian Ward (Batman: City Of Madness, Event Horizon, Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic & Batman Beyond: Neo-Year)
• Artist: John J. Pearson (The Department Of Truth, The Infernals & A Quiet Place: Storm Warning)
• Letterer: Hassan Ostmane-Elhaou (Kill All Immortals, Masterminds & The Smart Division)

Now the big thing with this series is that Issue #0: The Patron: The Cold Open will be available exclusively through Ignition Press’ Whatnot. They are doing a stream for that issue on June 11th at 5:15 PM EST/2:15 PM PST on their Whatnot stream. Ignition Press’ Director of Sales, Daniel Crary, had this to say about the stream: 

“We’re absolutely thrilled to be dropping our first ever Whatnot Exclusive. Not only is this cover exclusive to Whatnot, but the Cold Open itself is exclusively available from Ignition Press! Readers and collectors will have their first opportunity to read the opening story from this transcendent tale about arts, commerce, and murder!” 

Now the Cold Open issue will be limited to just 500 issues, so if you want it, you will need to hurry and get it. Now, additional copies will be available through Ignition Press’ website after the stream. Now the comic’s full description reads: 

“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 and this latest murder, a shocking twist puts his empire in the crosshairs.” 

The Patron #1 releases July 29th.
