The Resistance

J. Michael Straczynski and Mike Deodato Jr. launched this six-issue AWA Studios series in 2020, a dystopian thriller where a covert group of operatives—dubbed the Resistance—fights back against a corrupt, all-seeing surveillance state. Straczynski’s taut, character-driven script and Deodato’s moody, cinematic art make this a sharp, modern take on rebellion in the age of data control. It’s a compact, high-stakes story that resonates with contemporary anxieties about privacy and power.
