J. Michael Straczynski, Mike Choi, and Sal Cipriano have teamed for U and I, the next chapter of the Resistance Universe saga.
In U AND I, sparks fly when down-on-her-luck Isabelle meets the mysterious and superpowered “U.” A different type of flame ignites what is sure to lead to explosive consequences when U runs afoul of a crime syndicate that will stop at nothing to get revenge. U AND I offers the latest chapter in the popular Resistance Universe and is also a thrilling love story that can stand alone for readers first being introduced to JMS’s superhero world.
“U AND I shows the endless possibilities in the Resistance Universe with an unexpected romance between a superhero and the protagonist, Isabelle,” said AWA’s Chief Creative Officer, Axel Alonso in a press release. “This action-packed, thrilling love story is both a perfect way to introduce readers to the world of Reborns, and U AND I can also be read as a standalone story.”
In March 2020, AWA Studios launched a bold new universe featuring compelling 21st Century themes with J. Michael Straczynski & Mike Deodato Jr.’s THE RESISTANCE, in which “Reborns” gain incredible powers in the wake of a global pandemic. This epic debut series planted the flag for a new universe of heroes and villains. After humanity faced “The Great Death” – a pandemic that killed millions of people – survivors with superhuman powers known as the “Reborns” become Earth’s last hope. The concept of this universe stemmed from an intersection of ideas from J. Michael Straczynski, who was fascinated by where the premise for science fiction ends and the superhero universe begins. U AND I continues the saga of the Resistance Universe.
U and I is a six-issue mini-series that launches on February 7, 2024.
