PORTLAND, OR (July 9, 2026) –Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award–winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997, is proud to announce that FACELESS AND THE FAMILY: MAZE OF THE MECHANICAL ALIENS #1 has sold out at the distributor level!
Featuring 40-pages of stunning black-and-white artwork from the mind of Eisner Award-winning cartoonist Matt Lesniewski (Crimson Flower, The Freak) in his signature, hyper-detailed style, the brand-new entry point into Lesniewski’s stunning sci-fi odyssey will return to stores with a brand-new second printing on August 12th, 2026 – hitting shelves alongside FACELESS AND THE FAMILY: MAZE OF THE MECHANICAL ALIENS #2!
“Matt doesn't just write and draw comics, he builds mazes,” said editor Karl Bollers. “In MAZE OF THE MECHANICAL ALIENS, Faceless and his found family fight to escape a literal living machine. It's friendship, sacrifice and redemption, hand-carved in steel.”
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—in an artistically ambitious and visually spectacular odyssey unlike anything else in this universe . . . or the next!
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 . . .
Join the unlikely adventures of Faceless and discover why this is the once-in-a-lifetime series that The Beat calls “masterful” and “gorgeous” when FACELESS AND THE FAMILY: MAZE OF THE MECHANICAL ALIENS #1 (of 4) SECOND PRINTING returns to shelves on August 12th!
