"a marvel of black-and-white visual storytelling [...] Faceless and the Family is a raucous, imaginative graphic novel in which a man learns about the joys and responsibilities of being part of a chosen family." * Foreword Reviews *

“Absolutely gorgeous… The art is amazing… A Heavy Metal-ish vibe on drugs. Like a fever dream drawn on page, in a good way… A really unique, quirky comic.” * Graphic Policy *
“Stunning… What sets Faceless & The Family apart is Lesniewski's unparalleled artistic vision. Each issue of Faceless will boast Lesniewski's jaw-dropping, hyper-detailed, hyper-rendered line art. The painstaking detail and texture work that Lesniewski pours into every panel are breathtaking.” * Boing Boing *
“Artist Matt Lesniewski is easily one of the most promising new talents in the industry right now, with a detailed yet surrealist style that’s unlike anything else on the stands. We’re excited to see Lesniewski cutting loose in this new Oni Press series about a wanderer of the wastelands who finds an unlikely family in a ragtag group of travelers.” * IGN *
