W. Maxwell Prince & Martín Morazzo's Art Brut Moves From IDW To Image
The Electric Sublime bv W. Maxwell Prince and Martín Morazzo was published by IDW in 2016, but has now been picked up by publishers of their current comic book, Ice-Cream Man, Image Comics. This comes the day after Dark Horse announced they have Stan Sakai and Usagi Yojimbo back from IDW as well. Will we get official confirmation about GI joe and Transformers tomorrow to make it a trifecta?
And the creators get to name the comic as they originally intended it to be, Art Brut, as well as being fully re-lettered and remastered for publication in December 2022. Each issue features new covers, new design, and a new Silver Age-style backup story featuring the art hero that no one's ever heard of—until now. Art Brut #1 will be available from Image Comics at comic book shops on the 7th of December.
Here's how the series was originally solicited:

"Art is anything you can get away with… destroy it all." Welcome to THE ELECTRIC SUBLIME-where art history, madness, and expression meet in a Pollock-splatter of thrilling crime adventure! When a mysterious change in the composition of a famous painting begins poisoning the minds of its spectators, Margot Breslin-director of the Bureau of Artistic Integrity-must pull famed "art detective" Arthur Brut out of a mental institution and back into the insanity that sent him there in the first place. Featuring a treasure trove of classical works, under-the-radar art, and a seven-foot talking mannequin, this is comics, imitating art, imitating life.
