Precious Metal #5

The fifth and final issue of this Little Bird spinoff arrives with one of the most striking covers of 2024 — Ian Bertram's intricate, ink-drenched creature looms against a star-flecked void, its single cyclopean eye peering outward from a mass of writhing tendrils and layered feathers, while colorful butterflies drift across its form like living confetti. Matt Hollingsworth's deep blues and warm butterfly hues create a genuinely haunting contrast that rewards a long look. Darcy Van Poelgeest and company close out this Image series in grand, unsettling style.
