Precious Metal

In Precious Metal (2024–present, Image), writer Darcy Van Poelgeest and artist Ian Bertram craft a six-issue sci-fi noir that follows a disgraced detective haunted by a case involving a stolen prototype—a sentient, metallic child. Set against a gritty, rain-slicked future, the series explores themes of identity and humanity through Bertram’s intricate, visceral linework. This collaboration builds on the duo’s prior work, delivering a taut, visually arresting thriller that stands out in Image’s modern lineup.
