The Setup: Precious Metal Issue #3 continues Max Weaver's dystopian saga. This installment delves deeper into Max's tumultuous journey as he faces betrayal from someone close to him. Concurrently, the Disciples of Twelve intensify their mission to eradicate the "old flesh," compelling Max to revisit the enigmatic Temple of Twelve and confront the unknown.

What I Liked: This Issue was my favorite so far. It had a good twist, a compelling narrative, and, as always, phenomenal art. Truly, this work had intricate detail and atmospheric depth. I can't get over how beautiful it was! Additionally, I think this issue finally picked up the pace and immersed me in the story. I felt the connection between the plot and the series' commitment to exploring complex themes within a richly crafted world.

Why Not Five Stars? I am still a tad confused, especially with the Disciples of Twelve. I also felt like I still needed more answers to the plethora of questions this series has posed in previous issues. 

Regardless, this narrative has depth, and I am curious about its progression in forthcoming issues!

But Jelly...he was right about one thing. Every time I'd left Naomi without sayin' goodbye. Every time I can back again and said things would be different. I chipped away a piece of her...until nothin' was left of us.
