The Eisner Award winning Little Bird creative team of writer Darcy Van Poelgeest and artist Ian Bertram reunite for their gripping return to the dystopian American Empire in the upcoming, Precious Metal. This six issue miniseries is set to launch on June 5 from Image Comics.

Each issue of this new miniseries will be double-length—which will make the total page count of all six issues nearly 300-pages of story when all is said and done. Issue #1 will also feature a cover B with stunning wraparound artwork by Tradd Moore.  

Set 35 years before the events of Little Bird, Vol. 1: The Fight For Elder’s Hope, Precious Metal follows disillusioned mod-tracker Max Weaver. When a routine hunt for a modified child takes a grisly and unexpected turn, he finds himself saddled with an unpredictable mod who may be the key to unlocking his missing memories. Soon Max will 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.

Precious Metal #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, June 5.
