And can Poke keep the latest hunting party from descending upon their hiding spot?

A team of comics publishers, creators, and industry leaders including James Tynion IV, Bryce Gold, and Courtney Menard have launched the Brooklyn Organization Dedicated to the Endurance of the Graphic Arts (BODEGA), a new nonprofit dedicated to supporting and sustaining comic and graphic arts in Brooklyn and the greater New York area.

New York Times bestselling writer and producer James Tynion IVwill serve as Chair of the company’s Board of Directors, alongside Gold and Production Director, illustrator, printmaker, and cartoonist Courtney Menard.

BODEGA honors the legacy of comics legends from New York who instigated the comics industry, including trailblazing legends like Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Will Eisner, and Harvey Kurtzman, and follows in the tradition of Brooklyn-based cultural institutions like Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) and The Center for Fiction, which underscore the importance of the borough’s lasting impact on culture and creation.

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. 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.
On July 1st, enter a strange new realm that could only be born from the singular imagination of creator Matt Lesniewski, delivering page after page of jaw-dropping visuals and unsettling surprises, only in Faceless and the Family: Maze of the Mechanical Aliens #1 (of 4) – featuring unearthly covers by Lesniewski with multiple Eisner Award winner Dave Stewart, Kelley Jones with José Villarrubiá, and Noah Bailey!
