Here&#8217;s Oni&#8217;s official summary of the new series:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>The space-faring rogue known as Faceless and his found family of adventurers are about to encounter a new challenge\u2013 stronger, stranger, and more perplexing than any they\u2019ve faced before. Roving the backwaters of the class-segregated alien world called the Hand Planet, Faceless is plunged into his most harrowing ordeal yet\u2013 bonded to a living suit of extraterrestrial armor that refuses to let him go. As the armor\u2019s 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\u2013 if freedom is even possible.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cGet 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!\u201d said Lesniewski in a statement. \u201cThat\u2019s right\u2026 the quest to find Faceless\u2019 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\u2026 you\u2019ve 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\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Faceless and the Family: Maze of the Mechanical Men #1 will be released on July 1.
