In the gripping continuation of the Resistance Universe, "U & I" unfolds an extraordinary tale of love and heroism. This narrative follows the enigmatic 'U', a powerful Reborn who emerged from the Great Death with no memory of his past but a vision of the world imbued with beauty and hope. His life takes a turn when he meets Isabelle, a resilient young woman struggling in the wake of her father's death. Their unlikely love story is kindled against a backdrop of conflict and danger as they confront a ruthless crime syndicate. 'U' becomes a beacon of hope for his oppressed neighborhood, but his heroism draws perilous attention, marking him a target of the syndicate's menacing enforcer, the invincible Reborn known as the Hand. "U & I" weaves an action-packed, romantic saga that captivates and inspires, masterfully crafted by J. Michael Straczynski and Mike Choi.
