Artists Writers & Artisans (AWA) is a new comic book and digital media publisher. We have been keeping tabs on this since the venture was announced last year. It is owned and operated by creators and founded by Marvel alumni Bill Jemas and Axel Alonso, along with Jon Miller, the former CEO of News Corp.

“AWA has some of the biggest names in comics and film, such as J. Michael Straczynski, Reginald Hudlin, Garth Ennis, and Frank Cho working to craft new worlds, characters, and stories for a 21st Century audience.”

This is an ambitious new comic company, and we will be covering the new books that they have coming out in the next couple of months.

In March, their first set of books include:

THE RESISTANCE #1
by J. Michael Straczynski and Mike Deodato Jr.

ARCHANGEL 8 #1
by Michael Moreci and C.P. Smith

HOTELL #1
by John Lees and Dalibor Talajic

RED BORDER #1
by Jason Starr, Will Conrad, and Ivan Nunes

Check out what the people involved had to say about the shared universe of comics that they are creating and the company behind it.
