A Booklist Top 10 Graphic Novel of 2024 ""A true visual feast."" —Publishers Weekly, starred review ""A one-of-a-kind book, perhaps one of the best of the year."" —Booklist, starred review 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.
