From the magnificently distorted imagination of Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Matt Lesniewski (Mind MGMT Bootleg, Crimson Flower) comes a new milestone in comic book storytelling that must be seen to be believed: Faceless and the Family!

On the broken and warped world known as the Hand Planet, the wanderer simply called Faceless ekes out existence on the margins to escape the shame that cost him his name and his identity. Exiled for his crimes, Faceless now calls the wastelands his home—until the good fortune of fate delivers him a mismatched band of fellow travelers who will soon become family. . . . if they can survive a suicidal mission into the Hand Planet's class-segregated Finger Cities to restore what lies beneath Faceless's helmet and, with it, his hope in humanity.

The Hand Planet is a strange and mysterious place, teeming with life and danger. The Finger Cities, where Faceless and his companions venture, are divided into different classes, each with its own set of rules and hierarchies. The people of the Finger Cities are ruled by a powerful elite known as the Hand, who control everything from the economy to the military.

Faceless and his companions are a group of misfits and outcasts, each with their own unique skills and abilities. They include a cyborg named Atlas, a psychic named Karma, and a former soldier named Jack. The group is led by Faceless, a mysterious and charismatic figure who has a dark past and a hidden agenda.

As the group embarks on their mission, they face a series of challenges and obstacles. They must navigate through the treacherous Finger Cities, avoiding the watchful eyes of the Hand and their loyal soldiers. They must also confront their own demons and fears, as Faceless's past comes back to haunt him.

Along the way, the group encounters a variety of strange and fascinating characters, including a powerful sorceress named Xara and a group of rebels who are fighting against the Hand's rule. They also learn about the history of the Hand Planet and the true nature of Faceless's helmet.

In the end, Faceless and his companions must make a difficult decision. They must choose between their own personal desires and the greater good of the Hand Planet. They must also confront the true nature of Faceless's helmet and the secrets it holds.

Faceless and the Family is a stunning and thought-provoking comic book that explores the themes of identity, sacrifice, and the power of hope. Matt Lesniewski's artwork is stunning, and his storytelling is masterful. This is a comic book that will leave readers thinking and talking for years to come.
