‘Faceless and the Family’ returns for a sequel miniseries in July

Matt Lesniewski’s exiled hero faces a new crisis in a new miniseries from Oni Press.

Matt Lesniewski’s Faceless and the Family, the story of an exiled wanderer on an alien planet seeking redemption, will return later this year with a sequel miniseries, Faceless and the Family: Maze of the Mechanical Aliens. The four-issue series will kick off from Oni Press in July.

The first series introduced Faceless, our wandering hero, as well as the “found family” of adventurers who joined him on a suicidal mission into the Hand Planet’s class-segregated Finger Cities. It was written and drawn by Lesniewski in the unique, imaginative approach he’s taken to storytelling in projects like the Eisner-nominated The Freak.

“Get ready for more Faceless! The journey picks up right where it left off at the end of Volume One, but this is a brand new story,” Lesniewski said. “That’s right… the quest to find Faceless’ family continues, but the crew is faced with an otherworldly obstacle, as well as the introduction of some new characters. Pick things up here or start at the very beginning while you can… you’ve got well over 200 pages of imaginative crosshatched chaos to jump into. Hope to see you on the Hand Planet. Grab your weapon. Join the family…”

Matt Lesniewski is always doing something unique in comics, whether we’re talking about his OGN The Freak or his work with Matt Kindt on Crimson Flower. Oni Press has announced Lesniewski’s next project, Faceless and the Family, which is about an exiled wanderer on an alien planet seeking redemption.

“I’m really happy to have found the perfect publisher in Oni, who are going the extra mile to showcase Faceless in the best possible way,” said Lesniewski. “This comic has taken me more time and effort than any of my previous ones, and I hope it shows.
