Precious Metal #1

by Darcy Van Poelgeest, Ian Bertram (artist)

MINISERIES PREMIERE
Thirty-five years before the events of LITTLE BIRD, VOL. 1: THE FIGHT FOR ELDER’S HOPE, disillusioned mod-tracker Max Weaver’s routine hunt for a modified child takes a grisly and unexpected turn. Now, saddled with an unpredictable mod who may be the key to unlocking his missing memories, Max will soon find that he isn’t the only one interested in the child’s unique abilities—and if he wants to know more, it’s going to cost him everything.
Eisner Award-winning creative team DARCY VAN POELGEEST and IAN BERTRAM reunite for their gripping return to the dystopian American Empire.

This is amusing enough. The art is nice in that old Heavy Metal style, can't say I'm a fan of the story. And really we've seen most of this from Jodorowsky/Moebius and friends.

Extremely cool art. Very much the vibe I covet. Weird as fuck. Love it.

I think I’ll like this more than Little Bird.

Very trippy

Loved every minute of it. The art is gorgeous. The story is easy to follow. Easily one of my favorite books of 2024. I look forward to reading more of this series!
