Eisner Award–nominated cartoonist Matt Lesniewski (Crimson Flower, The Freak) presents the next electrifying chapter in a gripping saga of friendship, family, sacrifice, and redemption!
Faceless—the enigmatic space-faring wanderer—desperately searches for a way to free himself from the biomechanical armor fused to his body. But as hope flickers, danger closes in. Alongside his found family, he becomes the target of the ruthless Carpal Tunnel Gang. Trapped, hunted, and running out of options, Faceless faces an impossible choice: fight to protect those he loves or walk away before he becomes the reason they fall. Meanwhile, Katari confronts a harrowing decision of his own—risk everything to remove his own bio-armor . . . or lose a member of his family forever. High stakes, emotionally charged, and visually unforgettable—this is a chapter you won’t want to miss!
