2023’s Faceless and the Family left a very strong impression thanks to the bold, eye-popping artwork from creator Matt Lesniewski. We’ve been eagerly awaiting a sequel ever since, and Lesniewski and Oni Press are finally about to deliver in the form of Faceless and the Family: Maze of the Mechanical Men.
With Faceless and the Family: Maze of the Mechanical Men #1 hitting comic shops on July 1, IGN can exclusively debut a new preview of this issue. Check it out in the slideshow gallery below:
Faceless and the Family: Maze of the Mechanical Men is written and illustrated by Lesniewski. Here’s Oni’s official summary of the new series:
The space-faring rogue known as Faceless and his found family of adventurers are about to encounter a new challenge– stronger, stranger, and more perplexing than any they’ve faced before. Roving the backwaters of the class-segregated alien world called the Hand Planet, Faceless is plunged into his most harrowing ordeal yet– bonded to a living suit of extraterrestrial armor that refuses to let him go. As the armor’s inscrutable will tightens its grip, Faceless finds himself physically under siege. Enter a bizarre, labyrinthine world of impossible logic and nightmarish wonder as Faceless and his unlikely family must embark on a harrowing quest to free him– if freedom is even possible.
“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!” said Lesniewski in a statement. “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…”
Faceless and the Family: Maze of the Mechanical Men #1 will be released on July 1. You can preorder a copy at your local comic shop.
