“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 *
