We are releasing The Resistance #1 digitally in an innovative vertical scrolling format (similar to WEBTOON or Tapas), for free on our website and across the web.
Given the timeliness of the story and the limited access to get the physical copy at retail due to COVID-19, J. Michael Straczynski & Mike Deodato Jr.’s The Resistance #1 will be the first of our stories to premiere in this new format, beginning with Part One this week. We are working to convert other AWA comics into a vertical scrolling format and will update you on their releases as they are available.
With large portions of readers unable to visit their local comic book shops, we encourage any and all retailers to embed these links on their website to help maintain interest in our series until everyone can resume regular business. We believe these efforts will have a positive impact on future sales, and hope retailers will take us up on this free marketing opportunity. We’ve also seen a large portion of our audience reading The Resistance on substandard pirate websites (over 10,000 views so far), and hope to give these viewers a superior free reading experience on mobile and desktop.
Beginning on Wednesday, March 25, Part One of The Resistance will be made available on:
- The AWA Studios website: https://awastudios.net/comic/the-resistance-1/
- WEBTOONS: https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/the-resistance/list?title_no=404179
- Tapas: https://tapas.io/series/The-Resistance
