AWA Studios is a new comic publisher with the first issue of a few of their series dropping in the last month. With COVID-19 spreading, AWA sped up their digital release of their comics with the first issues being free to read.

In The Resistance, J. Michael Straczynski returns to comics teaming with Mike Deodato Jr. Together they plant the flag for a new universe of heroes and villains. A global disaster leaves hundreds of millions dead in its wake. Shortly after, a few thousand suddenly manifest superhuman powers. Are they harbingers of more perils to come…or Earth’s last hope?

You can read the first issue below, for free.
