Precious Metal (2024)

Mini-Series Premiere. Thirty-five years before the events of Little Bird Volume 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.

Factions clash over control of the modified child with devastating consequences as Max confronts a past transgression-pushing him toward a disturbing moment of self-discovery.

Max is betrayed by someone close to him as the Disciples of Twelve ramp up their mission to rid world of "old flesh"-pushing Max to revisit the Temple of Twelve and journey deeper into the unknown.

Max returns from a world beyond his own, finding himself in the heart of a rebel encampment as the rebels race against the clock to stop Bishop's mission to "cleanse" New Empire of modified beings.

Max makes a final, desperate attempt to save the child and reunite with his daughter as Bishop releases his terrifying army of clones to exterminate the mods and establish a holy city within New Empire.

Mini-Series Finale. The epic conclusion to Max Weaver's journey in which the Little Bird Universe is forever changed.
