Dynamite Entertainment has announced Cherish, a new vigilante character created by Katana Collins, which will get her own series in November 2022.
When the blood on the boardroom floor moves from metaphorical to literal, Cherish comes to play. Amelia Fellows was once like any other young woman. That is, until she witnessed firsthand the betrayal and murder of her father by those he trusted. To get her revenge against some of the richest, most powerful people in the world, she’ll become the well-armed, high-tech vigilante Cherish.
The first target up in issue one is Unicon and its chairwoman Valerie Nolan. A more subtle approach is required, with Cherish needing to hide in plain sight as a staff member – and even seducing Valerie’s own son Conrad. When suspicious eyes turn to her, will she be able to keep up the ruse and survive long enough to get the evidence and justice she seeks?
Joining Katana Collins on the series is artist Gabrial Caitano with original concepts and designs from Marc Silvestri.
“I’ve always found revenge to be fascinating. It means something different to everybody,” said writer Katana Collins. “Theologists and scholars alike dissect it. Every single one of us has probably thought about it in one facet or another, whether we call it karma, or delight in the person who cut us off in traffic getting pulled over by a cop. Some of us believe the best revenge is massive success… or of course, there is the ‘eye for an eye’ belief. Perhaps the only thing I find more fascinating than revenge, is an anti-hero, or in the case of Cherish, an anti-heroine. Cherish is an interesting shift after having worked on Batman White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn. Both are women dealing with their trauma. Both were pushed to vigilantism. And both are able to kick some serious ass. Leaving the questions… how far is someone willing to go to get their revenge? And will it ever truly help heal past trauma?”
Cherish #1 will arrive in November 2022.
