Even though she gave him a new arm made from living paint, Reggie still isn't going to just up and join his mom's line of work. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Spending your son's childhood at work and not being with them much will do that.]] Of course, then something unusual happens at an award ceremony for Gina featuring the bulk of the Art Ops organization.

''Art Ops'' is a ComicBook by Shaun Simon.

Reginald "Reggie Riot" Jones is a man of the punk scene. He likes doing drugs, being with his girlfriend Jessie, and winning money in boxing matches. He's also the son of one Gina Jones, who hasn't done the best job of raising him due to her job... which she never told him about. As a result, Reggie has grown to resent his mother for never being in his life.

All that changes, however, when he's attacked by art in an alley, which [[AnArmAndALeg rips off his right arm]]... right at the same time a drug dealer shoots and kills Jessie in front of him.

From there, Reggie finally finds out what his mom does for a living: Gina Jones is the head of a top secret organization known as the Art Ops. Turns out, every artistic masterpiece (and piece of art in general) is alive and able to move about at will. They can even leave the canvases they were painted on and walk about in the real world. Gina's team is to keep them in check, make sure they don't break any laws, and keep their existence a secret from the public.

Even though she gave him a new arm made from living paint, Reggie still isn't going to just up and join his mom's line of work. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Spending your son's childhood at work and not being with them much will do that.]] Of course, then something unusual happens at an award ceremony for Gina featuring the bulk of the Art Ops organization.

All of them just magically disappear.

So now, whether he wants it or not, Reggie has been thrust into his mom's world of living art. With the help of the Mona Lisa (yes, [=THE=] Mona Lisa), The Body (a {{Superhero}} from a comic who wants to be a sitcom writer), a girl from the suburbs, and an 80s pop icon, he's going to rebuild the Art Ops.

The comic was published in May 2016.

!!''Art Ops'' contains examples of:
* AnArmAndALeg: Reggie gets his arm ripped off by some street graffiti. The Art Ops make him a new one out of living paint, but he now has to regularly spray himself with an antidote so it doesn't completely take over his body.
* BodyHorror: Scarlett infects several works of art (Michelangelo's David, some Cherub's from Raphael's Sistine Madonna, and the Statue Of Liberty) with a disease that turns them into deformed lumpy versions of themselves.
