AWA or Artists, Writers & Artisans Inc is a new comic book publisher from former Marvel publisher Bill Jemas and former EIC Axel Alonso that Bleeding Cool has been reporting on since long before anyone would officially admit that it existed. You can catch up on all our AWA coverage with this handy tag.

It will be launching a slate of new books and titles, with plenty of its A-List creators in attendance, at New York Comic Con – and we may have a sneak peek at one or two more of them.

Including Byte Sized, a new comic book by Cullen Bunn and Nelson Blake II, which appears to show electronic Christmas presents coming to life… with the tagline 'Not To Be Toyed With'

Cullen Bunn is best known for co-creating Harrow Country, Dark Ark, The Damned, The Sixth Gun, Subspecies, Shadow Roads, Regression for Image, Unholy Grail, Brothers Dracul and Pumpkinhead as well as Uncanny X-Men, X-Men: Blue, Magneto and various Deadpool miniseries – including the legendary Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe. Nelson Blake II is best known as an artist on Witchblade, The Magdalena, Ms Marvel and Luke Cage.

Bill Jemas is CEO and publisher of Artists Writers & Artisans, Axel Alonso is editor-in-chief and the publisher is funded by James Murdoch of Lupa Systems, Jonathan Miller of TPG Capital, Alexander Taussag of Lightspeed Venture Partners. Based in New York City, AWA is looking to license its comics series and characters for movies, games, TV series, and other media ventures, offering authors a hybrid business model. The company offers 20% of the revenue from media licensing deals to creators and it has a Creative Council made up of Garth Ennis, Reginald Hudlin, J Michael Straczynski, Gregg Hurwitz, Margaret Stohl and Frank Cho.
